1. Establish safe access

2. Remove the standing water

   When inflow continues, the crew accounts for new water while planning safe removal.

   A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   Moisture mapping shows whether adjoining rooms still hold water. Technicians update the drying plan accordingly.
