   The extraction technician pulls standing water from the kitchen surface and accessible floor edges. In Endwell, 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 Endwell technician compares affected and dry areas.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
