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

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In War, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the War property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the War address.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
