1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Clarkesville 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 Clarkesville crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify
