1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The contractor records the water removed and checks whether entry continues during the job.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Category 3 contact often requires removal of porous carpet, pad and insulation.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The specialist compares wet framing with dry reference points before ending equipment use.
