-
Find moisture beyond the puddle
Meters reveal damp subfloor and wall bases that eyes cannot judge. The wet map tells the team where drying equipment belongs.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water
The crew documents what comes out and why. Removed material notes help explain the loss when later finish work is quoted.
-
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.

- Keep people away from wet outlets, ceiling fixtures, and standing water of unknown origin.
- Move dry documents and electronics away from the wet floor.
