1. Remove accessible water

   Water behind the toe kick may need access before extraction. The local team opens the necessary area in the Lucan kitchen.

2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Lucan crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
