3. Open only materials that hold water

   The Livingston crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   The Livingston technician keeps a drying record for the homeowner. Rebuild work follows after affected materials reach their goals.
