1. Remove accessible water

   Visible water is recovered first, then the technician checks for concealed spread. The New Salem dry-out is based on material readings.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
