Remove the escaped heating water

-
Open only materials that hold water
Carpet padding that cannot dry in place is lifted. Air movement can then reach the remaining floor layers.

Run equipment and verify drying
The crew checks room air and material readings through the dry-out. Equipment stays until verified conditions support removal.
