   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.
