1. Remove Standing Water

   Heavy water in a crawl space may require pumping. The crew then checks the subfloor above for moisture.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   The team checks adjoining rooms before assuming the damage ends at a doorway. Subfloor seams can carry water farther.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   The crew limits removal to the affected assembly when conditions permit. Pipe work stays with the utility or plumber.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   The technician adjusts equipment when a wall or floor dries more slowly than nearby materials. Completion follows measured conditions.
