1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Framingham crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Framingham owner.

• 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.
