1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   Pumps remove deeper water; extraction tools pull smaller remaining pools from reachable areas.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

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

   Dehumidifiers and directed airflow dry remaining materials while meter readings show progress.
