-
Pump out the laundry water
A wet vacuum handles shallow films on vinyl, while a submersible pump deals with an inch or more. The crew matches the tool to the floor.
-
Map where the water went
Notes and photos from the mapping go into the job file. They show the adjuster the starting condition.
-
Open what stays wet
Swollen baseboards and soaked carpet pad come out first. Taking out trapped layers gives the air a way to reach the wet subfloor.

Dry and confirm
Dry means numbers, not feel. The final readings show every material at or near the reference, and the log goes into the claim file.
