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

2. Map the wet materials

   The source and duration help interpret moisture patterns. A local technician documents the Sunset property's wet layers.

4. Dry and verify

• Stop using the dishwasher and close the accessible supply valve when safe.
• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.
• Remove dry contents from neighboring cupboards without pulling fixed panels apart.
• Keep cleaning chemicals away from standing water if they can be moved safely.
• Photograph swelling, stains and the position of water before cleanup.
