1. Remove accessible water

   Water behind the toe kick may need access before extraction. The local team opens the necessary area in the Grapeville kitchen.

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Grapeville, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Grapeville address.

• 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.
