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

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Thomaston technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Thomaston address.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Drying begins with liquid removal because a standing puddle keeps feeding the wet structure. The local crew measures the Thomaston floor layers and places equipment for the remaining moisture.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
