   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Guston crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Guston crew place drying equipment.

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Guston property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify
