1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Petersham crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Petersham report documents the dry-out and any removed material.
