   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Ballico team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Ballico owner.
