1. Remove Standing Water

   A main break can leave pockets of water behind trim or thresholds. Extraction follows the actual spread rather than one visible puddle.

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

   A floor covering can trap water beneath it. Lifting or removal may be needed to reach the wet layer.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Dehumidifiers collect moisture released into the air while airflow supports evaporation. Final measurements show when the structure is ready for rebuilding.
