1. Remove Standing Water

   The team documents the initial water depth where possible. Pumping and extraction prepare the structure for the next drying phase.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   A basement flood can wick into lower drywall. The crew compares affected readings with dry reference areas.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Waterlogged drywall at the bottom of a wall may need selective opening. The team documents the removal before work proceeds.
