2. Trace moisture through materials

   Moisture mapping records how far the thaw leak moved from the split.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   When wall material traps water, a controlled opening can make drying possible.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while the crew tracks material readings.
