1. Remove the overflow

   The response team clears standing water around the drain and adjoining floor. Safe photographs show where the overflow had reached.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   The technician checks flooring edges and lower walls with a moisture meter. Readings help reveal wet material beyond the visible puddle.

3. Handle affected materials

   The mitigation team separates contaminated contents from clean items. Material handling follows the source and category of the drain water.
