1. Extract the accessible water

   The contractor checks safe access around electrical components. Once the area is clear, extraction begins at the deepest accessible spot.

2. Map moisture beneath finishes

   Cabinet toe kicks can conceal water near the dishwasher. The drying specialist tests those edges and records the footprint.

3. Open materials that trap water

   Damaged trim may conceal a damp wall bottom. The crew opens the area when readings show trapped moisture.

• Keep people and pets out from under a bulging ceiling.
• Do not touch a wet light fixture or switch.
