water trapped in my slide out

Question

Well it looks like I had a leak in my slide out and water is now trapped in the ceiling. I have since solved the leak, but how do I get the water out? I know the slide out will have to be taken apart, but is this something I can do or should I leave it to the professionals? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
