1. Remove accessible water

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Tahoma property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
