Standing water spreads across seams and into flooring layers. Extraction starts the process, then controlled airflow handles absorbed moisture.

1. Remove the pooled water

2. Trace damp materials

   Insulation and trim are evaluated where thaw water followed a hidden route.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Saturated insulation may be removed when it blocks drying of the cavity.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Repeat meter readings show whether affected wood and wallboard are losing moisture.
