1. Assess the water and safe access

   An upstairs spill gets assessed at the source and the lower room. The technician notes what the water touched.

2. Remove pooled liquid

   Contaminated liquid is collected with appropriate protective methods. Remaining surfaces are prepared for cleaning.

3. Map wet construction

   A stained ceiling may not show the full wet cavity. The specialist tests around the visible mark.

4. Dry and record the result

   The dry out is complete when material conditions support it. Rebuilding finishes is assessed afterward.
