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

2. Map the wet materials

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Mascot home.

3. Open trapped-water areas

4. Dry and verify

   A drying record lists the equipment, materials and readings. That evidence helps the Mascot property owner plan finish work.
