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.

Mixed seasonal conditions affect buildings differently. The drying equipment is chosen from the actual loss. Owner occupied housing still includes varied floor finishes. The technician checks the actual slab and finish materials.
