Remove the overflow
A mitigation team begins at the lowest pooled spots. The technician records the water depth and affected surfaces before material removal.

Measure hidden moisture

Handle affected materials

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