   The crew limits removal to the affected assembly when conditions permit. Pipe work stays with the utility or plumber.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Dehumidifiers collect moisture released into the air while airflow supports evaporation. Final measurements show when the structure is ready for rebuilding.
