1. Remove the overflow

   Standing drain water is removed with suitable extraction equipment. The crew protects unaffected contents while defining the wet boundary.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   A dry reference area gives the crew a comparison point. The wet map then shows where equipment and access are needed.

3. Handle affected materials

   Sewage-touched porous materials usually need removal. The crew documents the affected flooring or drywall and cleans remaining hard surfaces.

4. Dry and verify

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