1. Remove Standing Water

   The crew pumps deep basement water before treating wet floors. Early liquid removal reduces the amount left for drying equipment.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   The crew limits removal to the affected assembly when conditions permit. Pipe work stays with the utility or plumber.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   A room can feel dry before hidden layers reach target moisture levels. The crew checks both the surface and the assembly below.
