A vacant property can hold water in several places, so crews work through the full wet footprint.
-
Trace moisture through materials
Wall corners and baseboards are checked because water can wick upward.

Expose saturated hidden layers
Soaked insulation may be removed to give framing a path to dry.
-
Dry and verify the structure
Daily measurements show whether the wet layer is releasing moisture.
