A main break can soak multiple rooms before the valve closes. Early water removal reduces continued absorption, and daily readings show whether drying stays on track. Technicians revisit corners and floor transitions because water can collect there after the main puddle is extracted.

1. Remove Standing Water

   Technicians pull standing water from hard surfaces and suitable floor coverings. They keep electrical hazards outside the work area.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   A basement flood can wick into lower drywall. The crew compares affected readings with dry reference areas.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Soft or swollen trim can show prolonged saturation. The restoration team evaluates it as part of the drying plan.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Structural drying targets framing and subfloors as well as visible surfaces. The team records final readings for the claim file.
