   A pump intake needs sufficient depth to work effectively. The crew switches methods as the water level falls.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Cleaning follows removal of saturated debris. Technicians treat exposed surfaces appropriate to the contamination.

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