   The crew chooses recovery equipment based on water depth and access. It checks seams and trim after the floor looks clear.

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Leighton crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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