1. Remove accessible water

   Water behind the toe kick may need access before extraction. The local team opens the necessary area in the Burkesville kitchen.

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Burkesville, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• 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.
