1. Remove accessible water

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

• Stop running the dishwasher and close its accessible water valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people off soft or lifted flooring to avoid further damage.
• Avoid using wet outlets, cords or the appliance; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose items from the wet floor without pulling up fixed flooring.
• Photograph the water path and floor changes before cleanup starts.
