-
Extract accessible water
Standing water at a wall edge is removed first. The team then follows its path beneath nearby flooring.

Open water holding materials
The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.
-
Dry and verify
Drying equipment runs as needed after the pipe source is controlled. The final record notes the condition reached.
