The first step is understanding the damage.
A useful mitigation plan follows the conditions in the home, not a fixed equipment package or guaranteed number of days.
First, address safety and the active source. Plumbing, roof and electrical repairs may need separate qualified professionals.
Next, assess visible damage and moisture in affected materials. The water source, time elapsed and affected finishes influence the plan.
Remove accessible water where appropriate, then evaluate which materials can be dried and which need further decisions. Drying and progress checks follow the observed conditions.
Finally, explain the drying findings and the next phase. Mitigation is not the same as rebuilding; repair scope and insurance coverage must be confirmed separately.
