Remove the overflow

-
Measure hidden moisture
The technician checks flooring edges and lower walls with a moisture meter. Readings help reveal wet material beyond the visible puddle.
-
Handle affected materials
When water sits behind a cabinet toe kick, the technician may open the area for cleaning and airflow. Removal decisions follow actual conditions.
-
Dry and verify

- Avoid plugs, cords and switches in the wet area.
- Keep children and pets away from standing water.
