1. Extract standing sewage water

   The technician checks whether wastewater moved beyond the visible puddle, then expands extraction as needed.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A room diagram can mark contaminated surfaces and the moisture boundary for the job record.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Cleaning work follows the documented contamination path, not just the most visible stain.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   A completed moisture log helps the owner understand what happened beneath the surface.
