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

   Hidden wet spots can remain after surface water disappears. Repeat measurements keep the drying area accurate.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Waterlogged drywall at the bottom of a wall may need selective opening. The team documents the removal before work proceeds.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Daily readings show whether materials are moving toward the drying goal.
