Extract the floor and the cavity
Extraction passes repeat until the wand pulls up very little. Then the technician checks the floor with a meter.
-
Open and remove what is soaked
The crew photographs what comes out and labels it for the insurance file before it goes into debris bags.
-
Dry and verify

- Switch the fan off at the wall and do not turn it back on
- Turn off the room's breaker from a dry panel if you can reach it safely
- Set a bucket or tarp under the drip and move beds and furniture away
- Stay clear of the blades until they have stopped completely
- Photograph the fan, the stain and any wet belongings
