1. Remove Standing Water

   An extraction team starts at the lowest flooded point and works across accessible rooms. The water source must already be controlled.

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

   Soft or swollen trim can show prolonged saturation. The restoration team evaluates it as part of the drying plan.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   The technician adjusts equipment when a wall or floor dries more slowly than nearby materials. Completion follows measured conditions.
