1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   A moisture meter shows whether the subfloor remains wet beneath finished flooring. The Mc Gregor technician compares affected and dry areas.
