Handle wet contents without spreading the mess
Dirty water should be kept separate from occupied dry rooms. Moving saturated rugs or furniture through the building can spread residues along the route. The work plan should establish a handling path, document affected possessions and determine which porous components need removal before equipment begins circulating air through the affected space.
- Water marks around doors help trace the first entry area.
- Floor coverings need assessment beneath their exposed top surface.
- Cabinet toe spaces can collect sediment and trapped liquid.
- Wall bases may remain wet after the central floor clears.
