  4. Ensure Safety First • Before entering the affected area, turn off electricity and wear protective gear if contamination is suspected. Safety is the top priority.

  8. Assess and Remove Damaged Materials Drywall, carpeting, insulation, and other porous materials often need to be removed if saturated, as they can harbor mold and bacteria.

  9. Professional Equipment Makes a Difference Restoration teams use moisture meters, infrared cameras, and drying systems that detect hidden moisture and ensure complete drying.
