1. Remove the standing water

   Basement pump-out lowers the water so materials can be assessed.

2. Map the moisture

   A technician checks wall bases and adjoining rooms for water migration.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Floodwater beneath cabinets may stay trapped out of view. A technician checks those edges and sets a drying plan for the material involved.

• Do not enter deep water or approach submerged electrical equipment.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.

Winter water damage can reach insulation before it reaches a floor. A Robinson technician checks the wall cavity.
