   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Lakewood crew place drying equipment.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Remove dry contents from neighboring cupboards without pulling fixed panels apart.
• Keep cleaning chemicals away from standing water if they can be moved safely.
• Photograph swelling, stains and the position of water before cleanup.
