1. Extract the escaped water

   A Old Fort crew pumps deeper boiler room pools. Removal limits continued absorption into adjacent materials. The operator also checks whether water has gathered behind storage or at the wall foot before packing equipment away. The homeowner can keep a safe distance while the operator works around equipment.

2. Map the wet materials
