1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Pedro Bay crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Pedro Bay crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

• 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.
