1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Eustis property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

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