   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

2. Extract standing floodwater

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

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Category 3 contact often requires removal of porous carpet, pad and insulation.

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