1. Extract liquid water

   When water reaches the kitchen threshold, technicians remove accessible liquid in both rooms. Early extraction leaves less moisture for the subfloor to absorb.

2. Trace the wet layers

   The seam beside an appliance can carry water under adjacent cabinets. A technician checks the cabinet base, floor finish and exposed substrate individually.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   A swollen toe kick can conceal a damp cabinet base. Selective removal may expose the affected area without disturbing dry sections of the kitchen.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Air movement is adjusted as wet sections change during the job. Documented moisture trends show which area still needs attention.
