1. Remove accessible water

2. Measure hidden dampness

   The crew checks concrete, floor edges and wall bottoms. Recorded values provide a starting point for drying.

3. Address soaked layers

   Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.

4. Track drying results

   The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.
