1. Assess the water and safe access

2. Remove pooled liquid

   Extraction begins at accessible pools and continues along the flow path. Wet coverings are assessed for salvage.

3. Map wet construction

   Meters compare the floor near the toilet with unaffected areas. The technician checks the subfloor and wall bases.
