-
Extract accessible water

- Keep people off raised or soft boards that could shift underfoot.
- Move small dry belongings away from the damp edge when safe.
- Photograph the board pattern and any spreading stain before cleanup.
- Leave glued boards and baseboards in place for a damage assessment.
