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

Seasonal storage can hide a low drain in cold-climate homes. Boxes left near the opening can absorb overflow before anyone notices it. Homeowners can check for a water backup endorsement before a loss. After a backup, the insurer still decides coverage under the policy.
