1. Remove Standing Water

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

   A basement flood can wick into lower drywall. The crew compares affected readings with dry reference areas.

   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

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