An open garage floor can still have wet lower drywall. The technician measures the wall base because damp structural material can remain after the floor appears dry. Garage concrete may dry while its adjacent drywall stays damp.

1. Remove the overflow

   When the plumber stops additional backup, the crew extracts the existing spill. Category 3 water receives protective handling from the start.

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

   The mitigation team separates contaminated contents from clean items. Material handling follows the source and category of the drain water.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew adjusts drying equipment as moisture readings change. A final record shows the condition of affected walls and floors.
