1. Extract liquid water

   A burst supply connection may flood the space under a refrigerator. The crew clears pooled water from the kitchen and identifies other rooms touched by the flow.

2. Trace the wet layers

   Finished hardwood may be dry on top while the underside stays wet. Separate readings from the boards and substrate shape the drying approach.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Porous trim beside a persistent leak can remain saturated after surface extraction. The technician checks whether it can dry or needs removal.

4. Verify the dry-out

   The cabinet base and nearby boards may dry at different rates. The crew measures each material again before clearing the work area.
