2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Harwich Port crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify
