1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Wixom crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Wixom home.
