1. Remove the overflow

   Standing drain water is removed with suitable extraction equipment. The crew protects unaffected contents while defining the wet boundary.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   Pinless readings can screen broad areas without opening every finish. The technician follows suspicious spots with closer material checks.

3. Handle affected materials

   Sewage-touched porous materials usually need removal. The crew documents the affected flooring or drywall and cleans remaining hard surfaces.
