2. Map the wet materials

   Dry-looking surfaces can hide damp materials below. The crew records those concealed points before drying begins in Beacon Falls.

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

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Beacon Falls 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.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
