A technician reads the damage before deciding what to remove. In Incline Village, that means a thermal scan, a meter check and a marked boundary around the wet zone.

Waiting on a replacement tank is no reason to leave a wet floor. A crew can pump out and start drying while the plumber's part is on order.

Pump out the standing water
Carpet and pad hold more water than their surface shows. The crew runs an extraction tool over wet carpet, then lifts the pad when it cannot be saved.

Map where the water went
A thermal camera shows cool, wet patches on floors and walls that look dry. A moisture meter then confirms which patches hold water.

Remove what cannot dry
