Remove the standing water

Trace where the water went
Carpet, pad and flooring are checked from below as well as above, because a dry surface can sit over wet material.
-
Take out what cannot dry
Porous items touched by sewage or groundwater go into bags. Hard surfaces are cleaned and treated instead.
-
Dry the structure and verify

- Move belongings up and out of the water, starting with electronics
- Photograph the waterline, the wet materials and the damaged items
