1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   The source and duration help interpret moisture patterns. A local technician documents the Durham property's wet layers.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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