-
Pump out the standing water
Water that sits under a heater drains into low spots, door tracks and carpet edges. The crew chases it into each one with a wand and a pump.

Remove what cannot dry

Dry the structure and verify
Once the readings pass, the crew removes the equipment and hands over the drying log. Rebuild work is quoted after drying.
