   A walkthrough tracks where outside water reached flooring, walls and lower cavities.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The contractor records the water removed and checks whether entry continues during the job.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The contractor explains each proposed removal with photographs and material findings.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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