In Harborside, the cleanup crew checks accessible edges around furniture and stored boxes without placing people near unsafe ceilings or wet circuits. Technicians determine whether the underlying finish, carpet cushion or subfloor is damp. The extent of the wet assembly determines the drying setup, and repeat checks show how that material responds.
