1. Remove Standing Water

   Heavy water in a crawl space may require pumping. The crew then checks the subfloor above for moisture.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   Water traveling through a wall opening may reach insulation. Moisture mapping helps decide whether access is needed.

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

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