1. Remove the overflow

   The response team clears standing water around the drain and adjoining floor. Safe photographs show where the overflow had reached.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   A dry reference area gives the crew a comparison point. The wet map then shows where equipment and access are needed.

3. Handle affected materials

   When water sits behind a cabinet toe kick, the technician may open the area for cleaning and airflow. Removal decisions follow actual conditions.

4. Dry and verify

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