1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Stanwood crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Stanwood home when that layer cannot dry closed.
