1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Mangum crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Mangum technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

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