1. Remove accessible water

3. Address soaked layers

   Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.

   Equipment placement changes if a damp area resists progress. The technician checks readings instead of appearance alone.

• Keep people away from wet outlets and electrical devices.
• Move portable belongings out of the damp area.
• Record visible stains, swelling and water levels.
