1. Remove accessible water

   The extraction technician pulls standing water from the kitchen surface and accessible floor edges. In Hamlin, the source trade addresses the failed appliance or connection.

2. Map the wet materials

4. Dry and verify

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.

• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
