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

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   The technician explains why each affected material stays or leaves during Category 3 cleanup.

4. Dry the structure and verify

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

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Wall and floor assemblies in older buildings can be difficult to see from the surface. Sanitizing begins after wastewater is removed from reachable areas.

When temperatures swing, keep fixtures off during an active backup to avoid adding flow. A tenant can tell the landlord or manager which fixture overflowed while avoiding contact with wastewater.
