1. Remove accessible water

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Norris property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

• 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.
