Damp backing paper can support mold growth after water soaks through drywall. The enclosed toe kick may retain humidity after the floor is wiped.

1. Extract liquid water

   A burst supply connection may flood the space under a refrigerator. The crew clears pooled water from the kitchen and identifies other rooms touched by the flow.

2. Trace the wet layers

   Water can slip behind the baseboard beside a refrigerator. The crew follows readings along the wall and cabinet edge instead of stopping at the visible stain.

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

   The lower ceiling cavity needs its own final readings after a kitchen leak. The crew records those results before any rebuild work is quoted.
