Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet organic materials. A wet paper backing can support growth if drying is delayed.

1. Extract liquid water

   Liquid trapped against a cabinet toe kick can keep wicking upward. Technicians extract the water they can reach and mark where concealed moisture needs further attention.

2. Trace the wet layers

   A damp ceiling below the kitchen can indicate water between joists. Technicians check both sides of the assembly to locate the materials holding moisture.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Ceiling drywall below the refrigerator may sag after absorbing water. The crew checks its condition and removes damaged sections when necessary.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Daily readings show whether the subfloor is losing moisture. Equipment stays directed at the affected layers until the drying record supports completion.
