Remove the overflow

-
Measure hidden moisture
After extraction, the restoration team tests baseboards, subfloor and adjacent room thresholds. Hidden spread changes the drying plan.

Dry and verify
The drying log tracks progress at the same measured locations. Equipment remains where the structure still needs help releasing moisture.
