2. Map contamination and moisture

   A room diagram can mark contaminated surfaces and the moisture boundary for the job record.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   The technician explains why each affected material stays or leaves during Category 3 cleanup.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   A completed moisture log helps the owner understand what happened beneath the surface.
