They'll extract standing water with pumps and wet vacs, then set up fans and dehumidifiers to dry out walls, floors, and cavities. This is the critical part: they need to get moisture out of hidden spaces fast, or mold takes hold. After 24-48 hours of running equipment, they'll check moisture levels in the framing and subflooring with meters. Once readings are down, they'll remove damaged drywall, insulation, and baseboards that can't be saved, treat what can be dried and salvaged, and prepare the space for reconstruction—usually handled by a separate contractor.
The whole process from water extraction to dry-out to removal of damaged materials typically takes a week or more, depending on how much water got in and how deep it soaked. A pro crew will also check for mold as they go and treat affected areas with antimicrobial spray. Your job is to call early, get fans running immediately if you can, and avoid closing up wet spaces. The longer water sits in walls and under flooring, the higher your repair costs climb.
