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

   The crew limits removal to the affected assembly when conditions permit. Pipe work stays with the utility or plumber.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Structural drying targets framing and subfloors as well as visible surfaces. The team records final readings for the claim file.
