How Kitchen Water Damage Water Cleanup Works in Chinook

1. Remove standing water

   Carpet and pad need more than surface wiping; a local crew presses extraction tools across the wet area.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Wall bases get checked after extraction because drywall can wick water above the floor mark.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily readings show whether equipment placement should change as the loss dries.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wood, plaster and concrete can hold moisture longer than carpet. Repeated measurements tell the team when dense materials are actually dry.

• Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
• Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
• Photograph cabinet bases before moving affected items.
• Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
• Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
