A carpet can feel nearly dry while its pad remains wet. The restoration crew checks each layer and removes material that cannot dry safely. The pad and carpet are assessed separately so a dry surface does not conceal water against the subfloor.

1. Remove Standing Water

   Technicians pull standing water from hard surfaces and suitable floor coverings. They keep electrical hazards outside the work area.

2. Map Concealed Moisture

   Meters show whether water moved under finished flooring. The technician marks a wet boundary for equipment placement.

3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Soft or swollen trim can show prolonged saturation. The restoration team evaluates it as part of the drying plan.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Dehumidifiers collect moisture released into the air while airflow supports evaporation. Final measurements show when the structure is ready for rebuilding.
