1. Remove Standing Water

   A main break can leave pockets of water behind trim or thresholds. Extraction follows the actual spread rather than one visible puddle.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   A technician assesses framing, floor layers and wall bases. The findings define what stays and what needs removal.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   A floor covering can trap water beneath it. Lifting or removal may be needed to reach the wet layer.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Daily readings show whether materials are moving toward the drying goal.
