A garage leak can wet shared wall materials on the house side. The Highland Park assessment looks for migration through trim and wall edges.

   The extraction plan follows the visible flow path across each affected room.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Adjacent rooms are assessed when water has crossed a doorway or cavity.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Material removal is documented before the drying equipment is positioned.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while the crew tracks material readings.
