1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The San Ardo technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify
