1. Extract the escaped water

   Vacuum tools recover shallow heating water from accessible floors. The heating professional has already controlled the source. Shallow liquid at a doorway can enter another floor assembly, so the extraction boundary extends beyond the obvious pool. Recovery passes continue until accessible liquid is no longer pooling at the seam.
