The crew uses pumps and extractors to remove all standing water. Porous materials like soaked drywall or carpet padding are removed, and hard surfaces are cleaned with antimicrobial solutions.
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers are placed to dry the structure. Technicians take daily moisture readings until the area meets the strict, verified dry standard.
