An open garage floor can still have wet lower drywall. The technician measures the wall base because damp structural material can remain after the floor appears dry. Garage concrete may dry while its adjacent drywall stays damp.

1. Remove the overflow

   Standing drain water is removed with suitable extraction equipment. The crew protects unaffected contents while defining the wet boundary.

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.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the remaining materials after sanitation. The technician compares readings with the dry reference before equipment leaves.
