1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   The source and duration help interpret moisture patterns. A local technician documents the Heppner property's wet layers.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Heppner team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

• 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.
