1. Remove the escaped heating water

   The Kivalina crew extracts standing water before placing dryers. A boiler room floor may need water removed from behind stored items.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   A wet wall plate behind finished basement drywall may need access. The technician measures the cavity before cutting.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   The crew checks room air and material readings through the dry-out. Equipment stays until verified conditions support removal.
