1. Remove accessible water

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

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Tidioute home.

• 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.
