1. Remove the standing water

   Technicians pull water from carpet and hard surfaces after confirming safe access.

2. Map the moisture

   Hidden cavities are assessed where the water path suggests intrusion.

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.
