1. Extract liquid water

   Water spreading from the refrigerator can pass through open floor seams. The crew vacuums standing water and checks the area beneath the appliance before placing drying equipment.

2. Trace the wet layers

   Water can slip behind the baseboard beside a refrigerator. The crew follows readings along the wall and cabinet edge instead of stopping at the visible stain.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Waterlogged underlayment beneath laminate may not dry in place. The team documents and removes affected material as the drying plan requires.

4. Verify the dry-out

   The lower ceiling cavity needs its own final readings after a kitchen leak. The crew records those results before any rebuild work is quoted.
