2. Extract standing floodwater

   Workers clear water and sediment from accessible surfaces before the detailed moisture map.

   Workers clean salvageable hard surfaces after gross debris and damaged porous layers are gone.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.
