1. Remove accessible water

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

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Valley owner.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
