2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Chicopee crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Chicopee team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.
