1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Hurst crew place drying equipment.

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

4. Dry and verify

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
