2. Extract standing floodwater

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

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily moisture logs help confirm that wall and floor layers are moving toward drying goals.
