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

   The response team clears standing water around the drain and adjoining floor. Safe photographs show where the overflow had reached.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   Pinless readings can screen broad areas without opening every finish. The technician follows suspicious spots with closer material checks.

3. Handle affected materials

   Sewage-touched porous materials usually need removal. The crew documents the affected flooring or drywall and cleans remaining hard surfaces.

   The crew adjusts drying equipment as moisture readings change. A final record shows the condition of affected walls and floors.
