The extraction crew picks a pump or a wand to fit the depth of the water. Pulling out the standing water first leaves less to evaporate into the air.

A moisture meter and a thermal camera show the wet zone. The technician marks the edge of the wet area on the floor and the walls.

Open what stays wet
Drywall that has wicked water upward may need a section cut out. Small holes near the floor let the cavity dry without opening the whole wall.

Dry and confirm
Dry means numbers, not feel. The final readings show every material at or near the reference, and the log goes into the claim file.
