1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Swollen composite parts sometimes cannot be saved by airflow alone. The technician identifies removal needs in the Castine kitchen.

4. Dry and verify

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Even clean supply water can become a problem after prolonged contact with dirt or building materials. The Castine assessor identifies the water path and sets the cleaning scope.

• 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.
