1. Extract the escaped water

   A Steger crew pumps deeper boiler room pools. Removal limits continued absorption into adjacent materials. The operator also checks whether water has gathered behind storage or at the wall foot before packing equipment away. The homeowner can keep a safe distance while the operator works around equipment.

2. Map the wet materials

   Trim can hide a wet wall foot. The crew records room-by-room conditions. Room sketches keep the upstairs and downstairs wet zones distinct. Photos can label the exact location of each material reading.

3. Open what holds water

4. Dry and verify

   Dehumidifiers collect moisture from the room air. Rebuilding waits for verified dryness. Daily readings show whether dehumidification is reducing the moisture load. The final check includes hidden layers that were wet at the start.
