1. Assess the source and safety

2. Extract pooled drain water

   Pumping addresses a substantial pool; vacuum extraction follows at the perimeter. The operator checks whether water crossed a threshold into another finished space.

3. Treat affected materials

   Wall bases can wick water above the floor. The crew checks those sections before deciding on limited removal. Trim and insulation receive separate attention because each absorbs water at a different rate.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Room humidity and material readings show how the dry-out is progressing. The crew keeps a record for the owner. The owner receives a record of measured progress before finish materials are considered.
