1. Remove accessible water

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

2. Map the wet materials

   A moisture meter shows whether the subfloor remains wet beneath finished flooring. The Ohio City technician compares affected and dry areas.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Ohio City technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Ohio City rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.

• 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.
