1. Remove accessible water

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Elmhurst rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.
