Standing water against wall bases gives moisture a path into drywall. The first 24 to 48 hours matter, so extraction and drying begin promptly. The response team notes how high the water touched the lower wall.

1. Remove the overflow

2. Measure hidden moisture

   Pinless readings can screen broad areas without opening every finish. The technician follows suspicious spots with closer material checks.

   Where Category 3 water contacted absorbent finishes, the crew removes those materials before drying. Sanitation addresses surfaces that remain.
