After safety concerns have been addressed and the initial water source has been stopped, the
restorer must complete an evaluation of the water's migration through the structure. During this
process, the restorer inspects all areas.

the ultimate goal is to find the edge of water migration which moves in a three dimensional path
throughout the structure. this is accomplished across carpeted surfaces using a and across
most hard surfaces using a (non-penetrating) moisture meter.

cleaning procedures must be employed before the drying of a category 2 water loss can continue. at

cleaned using a hot water extraction method.

Various cleaning and decontamination procedures must be used on Category 3 water losses,
including the removal of all materials affected by the water intrusion.
