   The extraction crew takes liquid water off the floor after the area is safe. A technician notes whether the source suggests sewer contamination.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   The technician checks flooring edges and lower walls with a moisture meter. Readings help reveal wet material beyond the visible puddle.

   When water sits behind a cabinet toe kick, the technician may open the area for cleaning and airflow. Removal decisions follow actual conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew adjusts drying equipment as moisture readings change. A final record shows the condition of affected walls and floors.
