1. Extract accessible water

   The operator chooses extraction equipment based on water depth and floor material. A tile room and a carpeted room need different handling.

2. Map the wet footprint

   Water can travel under tile into an adjacent wall. A moisture map identifies the materials that need continued attention.

3. Open water holding materials

   Baseboard or a small section of wet finish may need opening for airflow. The technician explains the drying reason for that access.

4. Dry and verify

   The closeout record can include the wet map, removed materials, and final readings. The insurer applies the policy to any claim.
