   Protective gear and controlled access limit contact while Category 3 water is removed.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A meter helps locate damp building layers after the visible sewage is gone.

   Cleaning work follows the documented contamination path, not just the most visible stain.

4. Dry the structure and verify
