   The technician explains material removal based on contamination and readings.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records progress until affected materials meet the drying plan.

• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
