-
Remove the overflow
Standing drain water is removed with suitable extraction equipment. The crew protects unaffected contents while defining the wet boundary.

-
Handle affected materials
Where Category 3 water contacted absorbent finishes, the crew removes those materials before drying. Sanitation addresses surfaces that remain.
-
Dry and verify
The drying log tracks progress at the same measured locations. Equipment remains where the structure still needs help releasing moisture.
