1. Extract the escaped water

   The technician chooses an extractor for the wet covering. Water condition shapes handling and disposal. The carpet backing and underlying floor are assessed separately because suction at the top does not reach every layer. A separate check confirms whether the supporting floor is still wet.

2. Map the wet materials

   Boiler water can soak wall bases in Kirkman. Unaffected material provides a comparison point. Cabinet bases and wall corners may retain moisture after the main floor looks dry. The crew checks adjoining cabinet edges that may wick from the floor.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet ceiling material beneath a radiator needs assessment. The technician records what comes out. Overhead demolition waits until the area below is secured and the ceiling condition is assessed. Occupants stay clear while overhead material is taken down.

4. Dry and verify

   Dehumidifiers collect moisture from the room air. Rebuilding waits for verified dryness. Daily readings show whether dehumidification is reducing the moisture load. The final check includes hidden layers that were wet at the start.
