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

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

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Waterlogged drywall at the bottom of a wall may need selective opening. The team documents the removal before work proceeds.

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.
