1. Remove the overflow

   The first pass removes accessible liquid from the room. A cleanup worker then checks seams and wall bases for water left behind.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   A dry reference area gives the crew a comparison point. The wet map then shows where equipment and access are needed.

3. Handle affected materials

   A technician evaluates whether trim, underlayment or insulation holds water. Necessary access helps the exposed structure dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Dehumidification removes moisture from the room air while air movement supports evaporation. Daily checks shape the setup.
