1. Remove accessible water

   The crew collects liquid from seams and nearby cabinets to limit continued absorption. A Mcdonough assessment defines where work begins.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Drying begins with liquid removal because a standing puddle keeps feeding the wet structure. The local crew measures the Mcdonough floor layers and places equipment for the remaining moisture.

• 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.
