1. Remove accessible water

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

   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Crucible home when that layer cannot dry closed.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Crucible report documents the dry-out and any removed material.

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
