1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Millville team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Millville report documents the dry-out and any removed material.
