Barrier replacement is done after the cavity is dry, so moisture is not sealed in behind new materials.

Treatment is done on dry surfaces, after removal and drying, so it does not trap moisture inside the wall.

Emergency removal starts with shutting off the water, then opening the wall where needed and extracting water from the cavity and floor.
