1. Remove Standing Water

   Heavy water in a crawl space may require pumping. The crew then checks the subfloor above for moisture.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   A technician assesses framing, floor layers and wall bases. The findings define what stays and what needs removal.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Saturated insulation may block drying in a wall cavity. The crew removes material that cannot dry safely.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   The drying plan changes with water category, saturation and material type. Technicians log progress rather than relying on a fixed day count.
