1. Extract liquid water

   A burst supply connection may flood the space under a refrigerator. The crew clears pooled water from the kitchen and identifies other rooms touched by the flow.

2. Trace the wet layers

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Ceiling drywall below the refrigerator may sag after absorbing water. The crew checks its condition and removes damaged sections when necessary.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Air movement is adjusted as wet sections change during the job. Documented moisture trends show which area still needs attention.
