1. Remove Standing Water

   The crew pumps deep basement water before treating wet floors. Early liquid removal reduces the amount left for drying equipment.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   The team checks adjoining rooms before assuming the damage ends at a doorway. Subfloor seams can carry water farther.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   The crew limits removal to the affected assembly when conditions permit. Pipe work stays with the utility or plumber.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Dehumidifiers collect moisture released into the air while airflow supports evaporation. Final measurements show when the structure is ready for rebuilding.
