1. Remove accessible water

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

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
