Materials
Wood, drywall, insulation, cabinetry, tile, concrete, contents, and commercial assemblies respond differently.

Understand how water moves, how materials respond, and why assemblies matter.
Surface appearance rarely tells the entire story. Water migration, material construction, enclosure, contamination, time, airflow, temperature, and moisture distribution all affect what normally happens next.

Water migration
Gravity, capillarity, cavities, seams, chases, plenums, and underlayments create hidden paths.
Explore migration →Drying science
Extraction, evaporation, dehumidification, heat, airflow, permeability, and monitoring work together.
Explore drying →Reconstruction sequencing
Mitigation, scope, permits, trades, inspections, finishes, contents, and completion follow interdependent stages.
