Affected floor area in square feet

Depth of standing water
With steady care, depth decides whether we lead with submersible pumps or go straight to extraction.
Volume of palletized inventory in the wet zone
For dependable recovery, every affected pallet means opening the base tier, photographing lot numbers and recording a status.
Whether the water came from outside
