3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Marlinton team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

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