1. Extract liquid water

   An ice maker tube can release a steady trickle behind a cabinet. Extraction begins at the visible puddle and continues along the path into nearby flooring.

2. Trace the wet layers

   A damp ceiling below the kitchen can indicate water between joists. Technicians check both sides of the assembly to locate the materials holding moisture.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Ceiling drywall below the refrigerator may sag after absorbing water. The crew checks its condition and removes damaged sections when necessary.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Final checks include wall edges and floor seams that held water early in the loss. The technician records the dry-out before equipment is removed.
