1. Remove standing water

   Water removal targets low spots first, including thresholds where flow has collected.

2. Map wet materials

   Testing wall bases and subfloors shows where surface mopping failed to reach.

3. Open trapped areas

   When water sits behind trim, selective opening gives moisture an escape path.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records drying progress for the property owner and insurance claim.
