1. Remove Standing Water

   The team documents the initial water depth where possible. Pumping and extraction prepare the structure for the next drying phase.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   Water traveling through a wall opening may reach insulation. Moisture mapping helps decide whether access is needed.

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

   Structural drying targets framing and subfloors as well as visible surfaces. The team records final readings for the claim file.
