1. Extract the accessible water

   A restoration worker vacuums shallow water after the appliance flow stops. The wet cabinet opening is assessed before the setup changes.

2. Map moisture beneath finishes

   A Benton drying contractor records where readings stay high. The map guides access and later progress checks.

3. Open materials that trap water

   Damaged trim may conceal a damp wall bottom. The crew opens the area when readings show trapped moisture.

• Keep people and pets out from under a bulging ceiling.
• Do not touch a wet light fixture or switch.
• Avoid piercing the ceiling to release trapped water.
• Photograph the kitchen spill and lower ceiling from safe locations.
