An open garage floor can still have wet lower drywall. The technician measures the wall base because damp structural material can remain after the floor appears dry. Garage concrete may dry while its adjacent drywall stays damp.

1. Remove the overflow

   When the plumber stops additional backup, the crew extracts the existing spill. Category 3 water receives protective handling from the start.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   Pinless readings can screen broad areas without opening every finish. The technician follows suspicious spots with closer material checks.

3. Handle affected materials

   Where Category 3 water contacted absorbent finishes, the crew removes those materials before drying. Sanitation addresses surfaces that remain.

4. Dry and verify

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