1. Remove accessible water

   The extraction technician pulls standing water from the kitchen surface and accessible floor edges. In Cottage Grove, the source trade addresses the failed appliance or connection.

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Cottage Grove, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

   Swollen composite parts sometimes cannot be saved by airflow alone. The technician identifies removal needs in the Cottage Grove kitchen.
