1. Remove Standing Water

   Meters show whether water moved under finished flooring. The technician marks a wet boundary for equipment placement.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   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.
