4. Dry and verify

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

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
