An upstairs spill may wet ceiling paper and insulation. The technician checks the lower cavity because mold may begin growing on damp material in 24 to 48 hours.

1. Remove accessible water

   Visible liquid is lifted from reachable surfaces. The drying specialist then handles moisture absorbed into building materials.
