1. Remove Standing Water

   The team documents the initial water depth where possible. Pumping and extraction prepare the structure for the next drying phase.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   Hidden wet spots can remain after surface water disappears. Repeat measurements keep the drying area accurate.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Soft or swollen trim can show prolonged saturation. The restoration team evaluates it as part of the drying plan.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   The drying plan changes with water category, saturation and material type. Technicians log progress rather than relying on a fixed day count.
