Technicians trace water pathways in the attic, checking roof decking, insulation, and ceiling drywall to locate all moisture.

Containment is set up at attic access points with negative air pressure before any colonized materials are disturbed.
Remove
Colonized and saturated insulation, drywall, or decking is removed, sealed in bags, and transported from the contained area.
Dry
