1. Extract the accessible water

   A dishwasher spill may travel under an island base. The West Columbia technician follows visible water before moving to hidden layers.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Cabinet and flooring materials may dry at different rates. The West Columbia crew checks each affected component before closing work.
