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

   After extraction, the restoration team tests baseboards, subfloor and adjacent room thresholds. Hidden spread changes the drying plan.

3. Handle affected materials

   The mitigation team separates contaminated contents from clean items. Material handling follows the source and category of the drain water.

4. Dry and verify

   Dehumidification removes moisture from the room air while air movement supports evaporation. Daily checks shape the setup.
