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

2. Map the wet materials

   A moisture meter shows whether the subfloor remains wet beneath finished flooring. The Nesquehoning technician compares affected and dry areas.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Nesquehoning crew whether drying is progressing.
