1. Remove accessible water

   A lower room may collect water after an upstairs overflow. The extraction plan covers both levels when measurements show wetting.

2. Measure concealed moisture

   Dry reference measurements help interpret affected material readings. The crew documents the comparison during the job.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   The water category affects cleaning and material decisions. A sanitary supply spill is handled differently from a sewer backup.
