Remove surface and pooled water
The first pass clears standing water near the fixture. The technician then evaluates carpet, trim and other absorbent materials for retained liquid.

Open layers holding water
Swollen baseboard can hide a damp wall edge. Removing damaged trim can reveal the material that still needs drying.

Dry and verify the structure
The crew monitors the opened floor or wall rather than closing it after the surface looks dry. Drying documentation stays with the job record.
