Wet insulation and subflooring that cannot be dried are removed and hauled away.
Step 4: Dehumidification and Air Scrubbing

How Hydrostatic Pressure Creates Water Removal Emergencies
Poor Exterior Drainage Systems
Clogged gutters, downspouts and poor grading send water toward the foundation, where it builds pressure in the soil.
Heavy or Prolonged Rainfall
Long periods of rain soak the soil, and the water presses against the foundation until it finds a way in.
Improper Landscaping and Irrigation
Landscaping that slopes toward the house, or heavy watering near it, adds water to the soil against the foundation.
Clogged or Collapsed Footing Drains
When perimeter drains clog or fail, water has nowhere to go and presses against the walls and slab.
