3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Clay Center technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Clay Center address.
