1. Remove the escaped heating water

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Saturated insulation above a ceiling may need removal so framing can dry. The crew records what was opened and why.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A basement loss may require humidity control along with directed airflow. The Onalaska crew adjusts equipment to measured progress.
