   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Alcoa crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Alcoa property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Alcoa crew whether drying is progressing.
