1. Extract accessible water

   The crew removes pooled water in Birchwood before it can reach more floor area. Extraction tools pull moisture from surfaces that permit access.

2. Map the wet footprint

   The crew examines wet flooring layers rather than assuming a dry surface means dry construction. Readings determine equipment placement.

3. Open water holding materials

   Baseboard or a small section of wet finish may need opening for airflow. The technician explains the drying reason for that access.

4. Dry and verify

   The closeout record can include the wet map, removed materials, and final readings. The insurer applies the policy to any claim.
