   Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.

3. Address soaked layers

   Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.

   A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.
