How Water Softener Leak Cleanup Works in Gunpowder

A softener discharge can enter gypsum through a small gap at the floor and climb the wall base.

2. Map wet materials

   A room sketch records the source area and other damp locations. This map directs equipment placement.

3. Open soaked assemblies
