   The assessor marks water levels and affected finishes while documenting Category 3 contact.

   Standing stormwater leaves the building through pumping matched to depth and debris.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Workers clean salvageable hard surfaces after gross debris and damaged porous layers are gone.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The technician records drying conditions and provides the owner with a factual job file.
