-
Extract liquid water
When water reaches the kitchen threshold, technicians remove accessible liquid in both rooms. Early extraction leaves less moisture for the subfloor to absorb.
-
Trace the wet layers
A moisture meter can reveal wet plywood beneath a floor that looks clean. The technician marks the boundary of the affected subfloor and checks it again during drying.
-
Remove what cannot dry
A swollen toe kick can conceal a damp cabinet base. Selective removal may expose the affected area without disturbing dry sections of the kitchen.
