Wall bases get checked after extraction because drywall can wick water above the floor mark.

Remove what cannot stay
Insulation holding water can keep a wall cavity damp even after the surface feels dry.

- Photograph solid or engineered boards before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
