-
Pump or extract liquid water

Find moisture beyond the puddle

Remove materials that hold unsafe water
Outside flood water can contaminate materials throughout its path. Technicians assess what can be cleaned and what must be discarded.
-
Dry the structure and confirm progress
Final moisture checks help separate drying from later rebuild. New finishes are addressed only after the structure is ready.
