A soaked carpet pad traps more liquid than the carpet surface suggests. The crew removes or dries affected layers according to their condition.

1. Extract the escaped water

   A technician first removes visible liquid from the Great Falls floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Meter readings outline which Great Falls building materials are still damp. The crew compares the readings with nearby dry surfaces.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Loose ceiling drywall should be assessed from a safe position. Removal may be needed when material is unstable or saturated.

4. Dry and verify materials
