2. Extract standing floodwater

   Workers clear water and sediment from accessible surfaces before the detailed moisture map.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Category 3 contact often requires removal of porous carpet, pad and insulation.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.
