3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Colwich team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Colwich owner.
