1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Wise crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Wise property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Wise address.
