Water can move under flooring, behind baseboards, and into adjacent rooms. The source and extent of exposure help determine which materials can be cleaned and dried and which may need removal.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Remove Standing Water<\/h3>\n<p>Once the area is safe to work in, standing water is extracted using equipment suited to the conditions.
