2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

   Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Port Jervis crew whether materials are improving.
