1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Clune technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.

• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
