4. Dry and verify

   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Ree Heights owner.

• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
