2. Map the wet materials

   The source and duration help interpret moisture patterns. A local technician documents the Mount Washington property's wet layers.

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Mount Washington crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Mount Washington address.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
