1. Establish safe access

   The first inspection marks the source and depth of the pool. Those observations shape the removal plan.

2. Remove the standing water

   Runoff carrying silt can leave deposits after the pool drains. Workers remove debris as part of the cleanup.

3. Address contaminated materials

   Affected insulation may be discarded so the cavity can dry. The contractor records what was removed.

4. Dry and verify

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