1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water under vinyl can remain after the top feels dry. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on damp materials, so the Sunnyside crew checks the subfloor promptly.

• 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.
