1. Extract the escaped water

   The cleanup operator checks the route for hoses and equipment. Call 24/7 when liquid keeps spreading. Hose access, stairs and floor depth shape which extraction tool fits the room. Portable equipment may suit a tight stairway better than a larger machine.

2. Map the wet materials

   Moisture can move under Westphalia flooring seams. The technician checks adjoining assemblies with suitable meters. A lower ceiling gets its own readings when water moved through a floor penetration above. A room-by-room moisture map helps the owner understand the full loss.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet ceiling material beneath a radiator needs assessment. The technician records what comes out. Overhead demolition waits until the area below is secured and the ceiling condition is assessed. Occupants stay clear while overhead material is taken down.

4. Dry and verify

   Dehumidifiers collect moisture from the room air. Rebuilding waits for verified dryness. Daily readings show whether dehumidification is reducing the moisture load. The final check includes hidden layers that were wet at the start.
