1. Remove Standing Water

   Technicians pull standing water from hard surfaces and suitable floor coverings. They keep electrical hazards outside the work area.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   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

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