1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Ketchum crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

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

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.
