1. Extract the accessible water

   The extraction team selects tools for the floor finish and water depth. Recovery passes reduce liquid left against absorbent materials.

   A ceiling below the kitchen may show only a small mark. Restoration personnel examine the wider overhead material safely.

3. Open materials that trap water

   Damaged trim may conceal a damp wall bottom. The crew opens the area when readings show trapped moisture.
