   Floor edges, wall bases, and cabinet materials receive readings. These checks show whether the water crossed a room boundary.

   A saturated wall base may retain water after extraction. The crew removes material when drying in place is not practical.

4. Dry and verify

   The closeout record can include the wet map, removed materials, and final readings. The insurer applies the policy to any claim.
