1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   A drying record lists the equipment, materials and readings. That evidence helps the Webster property owner plan finish work.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.
