1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   The source and duration help interpret moisture patterns. A local technician documents the Whitestone property's wet layers.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Whitestone property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Whitestone rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.
