Pump or extract liquid water

-
Find moisture beyond the puddle
A ceiling stain can be smaller than the saturated cavity above it. Technicians test nearby surfaces before deciding how far the cleanup extends.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water
Outside flood water can contaminate materials throughout its path. Technicians assess what can be cleaned and what must be discarded.
-
Dry the structure and confirm progress
A wall cavity and an open floor need different airflow. The crew tracks moisture in each affected material until targets are met.
