-
Remove the overflow
The response team clears standing water around the drain and adjoining floor. Safe photographs show where the overflow had reached.
-
Measure hidden moisture
After extraction, the restoration team tests baseboards, subfloor and adjacent room thresholds. Hidden spread changes the drying plan.
-
Handle affected materials
Where Category 3 water contacted absorbent finishes, the crew removes those materials before drying. Sanitation addresses surfaces that remain.

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