   Protective gear and controlled access limit contact while Category 3 water is removed.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A room diagram can mark contaminated surfaces and the moisture boundary for the job record.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Removal exposes wet framing and subfloor sections that surface cleaning cannot reach.

4. Dry the structure and verify
