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

   After extraction, the restoration team tests baseboards, subfloor and adjacent room thresholds. Hidden spread changes the drying plan.

3. Handle affected materials

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

4. Dry and verify

   Dehumidification removes moisture from the room air while air movement supports evaporation. Daily checks shape the setup.
