1. Extract liquid water

   An ice maker tube can release a steady trickle behind a cabinet. Extraction begins at the visible puddle and continues along the path into nearby flooring.

2. Trace the wet layers

   Finished hardwood may be dry on top while the underside stays wet. Separate readings from the boards and substrate shape the drying approach.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Waterlogged underlayment beneath laminate may not dry in place. The team documents and removes affected material as the drying plan requires.

4. Verify the dry-out

   The lower ceiling cavity needs its own final readings after a kitchen leak. The crew records those results before any rebuild work is quoted.
