   The crew checks safe access and extracts visible pooling across affected rooms.

2. Trace damp materials

   A technician tests the subfloor where the puddle crossed flooring seams.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Wet wallboard that cannot dry in place is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Drying is completed against measured goals for the materials and local conditions.
