2. Extract standing floodwater

   An extraction team removes pooled floodwater so damp layers can be assessed more accurately.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Sediment trapped under a finish may require access before the structure can dry.

   The specialist compares wet framing with dry reference points before ending equipment use.
