The DryTrace process is a decision sequence rather than a promised schedule. Actual conditions, access, water condition, materials, equipment performance, specialty providers, and approved changes control the work.
Start the Assessment RecordRecord water-flow status, electrical concern, contamination concern, source, discovery time, occupants, property type, decision contacts, and access restrictions.
Identify the safe shutoff or temporary measure, repeated-wetting risk, evidence needed, and the plumber, roofer, appliance, utility, or other party responsible for permanent correction.
Map visible water, stains, adjacent spaces, lower levels, ceilings, walls, flooring, cabinets, contents, inaccessible cavities, and comparable dry references.
Define accessible bulk-water removal, equipment routes, contents movement, floor and property protection, collection or disposal, and post-extraction conditions.
Document retained materials, controlled openings, removals, cleaning, contamination boundaries, disposal, contents actions, specialty referrals, and reconstruction interfaces.
Connect air movement and dehumidification to materials, room zones, site conditions, power assumptions, access, containment, monitoring locations, and customer instructions.
Repeat labeled readings, check equipment and conditions, record material or access changes, explain revised decisions, and obtain authorization before expanding scope.
Record final readings or decisions, retained and removed materials, contents status, photographs, exceptions, equipment removal, specialty work, repair boundaries, and responsible next owner.

PROCESS EVIDENCE
Changes can come from new migration, concealed material findings, contamination, source recurrence, access, equipment performance, occupant needs, weather, another contractor, or repair requirements. Each change should state the condition, effect, revised scope or terms, and authorizing person.
