1. Remove the escaped heating water

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   Finished basement walls may wick water upward from the floor. Measurements along the wall base reveal the affected height.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Porous material affected by heavily contaminated water is handled differently from a clean surface spill. The restoration team assesses category first.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry remaining materials. The technician records daily readings rather than stopping when the surface feels dry.
