Standing water against wall bases gives moisture a path into drywall. The first 24 to 48 hours matter, so extraction and drying begin promptly. The response team notes how high the water touched the lower wall.

1. Remove the overflow

   When the plumber stops additional backup, the crew extracts the existing spill. Category 3 water receives protective handling from the start.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   The crew traces moisture under trim and near storage racks. Those checks keep a surface-level cleanup from missing wet structure.

3. Handle affected materials

   A technician evaluates whether trim, underlayment or insulation holds water. Necessary access helps the exposed structure dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Dehumidification removes moisture from the room air while air movement supports evaporation. Daily checks shape the setup.
