1. Remove accessible water

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Post Mills, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Post Mills team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Post Mills rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.

• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.
• Remove dry contents from neighboring cupboards without pulling fixed panels apart.
• Keep cleaning chemicals away from standing water if they can be moved safely.
