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

Map the wet footprint
The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.

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
Air movers and dehumidifiers help affected materials release moisture. Repeat meter readings show progress in Readlyn.
