   The first pass removes accessible liquid from the room. A cleanup worker then checks seams and wall bases for water left behind.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   After extraction, the restoration team tests baseboards, subfloor and adjacent room thresholds. Hidden spread changes the drying plan.

   A hard concrete floor may be cleaned, but a soaked cardboard box cannot be treated the same way. The crew records what leaves the room.
