Fresh Meadows grew up on the old Fresh Meadow Country Club land after World War II. The planned garden apartments and row houses went up in the late 1940s, and the brick one- and two-family homes of Utopia, Hillcrest and the streets toward Cunningham Park fill in around them. Almost every building has a basement or a cellar, a boiler, and supply and drain pipe that is decades old.
That sets the work. The tech who does the walkthrough maps moisture before anything is moved, checks the basement and the ceiling below, and confirms the water category. The extraction crew removes standing water with truck-mounted units. The drying team sets air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to the load of each room and records readings every day until the materials reach the drying goal.
Water and sewage only: basement flooding, sewage backups, burst pipes, frozen pipes, radiator and boiler leaks, ceiling and roof leaks, storm water, structural drying and commercial losses. Porous materials touched by Category 3 water are removed, not dried.

IICRC S500 drying standard
