1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   A moisture meter shows whether the subfloor remains wet beneath finished flooring. The Dufur technician compares affected and dry areas.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Dufur crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify

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

• 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.
