   At the Buffalo property, extraction starts with safely reachable water. Wet electrical equipment remains outside the work area until assessed.

   The drying plan considers whether flooring can stay in place. Material condition and contamination determine removal needs.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The Buffalo team verifies the subfloor and lower ceiling before equipment removal. Rebuilding follows the completed dry-out.
