   At the Tamaqua property, extraction starts with safely reachable water. Wet electrical equipment remains outside the work area until assessed.

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

   After the source is corrected, controlled drying continues until building layers meet goals. A calendar alone does not end the work.

Northern winter conditions do not change the need to assess water contamination. The crew selects cleaning based on what water contacted. For an owner-occupied bathroom, save the source invoice and daily readings. Those records show distinct jobs after a leak.
