- Conduct an initial assessment of the affected areas to determine the extent of the damage and assess safety hazards.

- Ensure the safety of occupants and workers by identifying and mitigating potential electrical hazards, slippery surfaces, and structural instability.
- Use personal protective equipment (PPE) as necessary to protect against exposure to contaminated water or mold.

Water Extraction:
- Utilize high-powered extraction equipment to remove standing water from rugs, carpets, upholstery, furniture, and drapery.
- Extract water from hard-to-reach areas such as carpet padding, upholstery cushions, and furniture frames to prevent further damage and mold growth.

Moisture Detection and Assessment:
- Use moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect hidden moisture pockets within walls, floors, and other structural components.
- Assess the extent of moisture intrusion and develop a drying plan based on the severity of the water damage.

Content Removal and Salvage:

- Monitor moisture levels regularly and adjust drying equipment as needed to achieve optimal drying conditions.

Structural Drying and Restoration:
- Focus on drying out structural components, such as subfloors, drywall, and insulation, to prevent moisture-related issues such as mold growth and structural damage.
