None of the water had affected the actual walls; most of the water was contained into the ceiling.

Drying Procedures:
We decided to use a heated drying system on the structure (TES – thermal energy system). We install 2 Tex boxes with air movers upstairs with and exhaust control unit in the bath room. We installed 2 Tex boxes with airmovers, exhaust control unit in the kitchen and dining areas. We zipped walled off the affected areas to direct the heated air directly to the affected areas. (As recommended in the I.I.C.R.C. S500)
This was done after a sub surface extraction was performed on the upstairs affected areas with a truck mounted extraction unit and a water claw.
