1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Columbia City crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

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

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Columbia City address.
