2. Map contamination and moisture

   Technicians compare suspect materials with dry areas to define the drying scope.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   The technician explains why each affected material stays or leaves during Category 3 cleanup.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The crew records temperature, humidity and material condition through the dry-out.
