1. Remove the overflow

   The response team clears standing water around the drain and adjoining floor. Safe photographs show where the overflow had reached.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   The technician checks flooring edges and lower walls with a moisture meter. Readings help reveal wet material beyond the visible puddle.

3. Handle affected materials

   A technician evaluates whether trim, underlayment or insulation holds water. Necessary access helps the exposed structure dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the remaining materials after sanitation. The technician compares readings with the dry reference before equipment leaves.
