Humidity from a damp room can slow evaporation. Dehumidification and airflow are adjusted using measurements, especially where hidden materials stay wet.

   A lower room may collect water after an upstairs overflow. The extraction plan covers both levels when measurements show wetting.

2. Measure concealed moisture

   Cabinet backs and toe kicks can hold moisture out of sight. A targeted assessment reaches those likely pockets.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   Damaged cabinet bases or wall sections are assessed for retention. Drying access depends on the assembly and contamination.

4. Dry and verify progress
