Damp backing paper can support mold growth after water soaks through drywall. The enclosed toe kick may retain humidity after the floor is wiped.

1. Extract liquid water

   A burst supply connection may flood the space under a refrigerator. The crew clears pooled water from the kitchen and identifies other rooms touched by the flow.

2. Trace the wet layers

   A slow dispenser drip can spread in a narrow channel along the wall. Mapping that path shows where extraction and air movement are needed.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Porous trim beside a persistent leak can remain saturated after surface extraction. The technician checks whether it can dry or needs removal.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Final checks include wall edges and floor seams that held water early in the loss. The technician records the dry-out before equipment is removed.
