2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily moisture logs help confirm that wall and floor layers are moving toward drying goals.
