1. Extract accessible water

   Water beneath cabinets may emerge at the toe kick. The crew extracts the accessible area and checks farther behind the finish.

2. Map the wet footprint

   A warm spot can suggest a supply line issue, but the plumber determines the source. The drying technician measures the damage it caused.

3. Open water holding materials

   The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.

4. Dry and verify

   A dry looking surface is not the endpoint. The technician checks the hidden layers that were wet at the start.
