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.
-
Remove what cannot dry
Ceiling drywall below the refrigerator may sag after absorbing water. The crew checks its condition and removes damaged sections when necessary.

The cabinet base and nearby boards may dry at different rates. The crew measures each material again before clearing the work area.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 34% of housing units in the selected Elkhart ZIP areas were built before 1960. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Elkhart was built in the 1970s. A kitchen of this period may have vinyl over a wood base. Where finishes overlap, the crew tests the lower layer before concluding that the visible surface has dried.
A draft behind the appliance may expose a water connection. After the water source is closed, the team checks beneath the appliance for stored moisture. Owner households may coordinate appliance and floor work directly. Occupants should point out every affected room so the technician can map the full footprint.
