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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Cantwell crew whether drying is progressing.
