-
Remove material that holds water
Soaked insulation may block a ceiling cavity from drying. The crew removes material when its condition calls for it.

Dry and verify materials
Air movers and dehumidifiers support evaporation from wet Lafayette materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.
