3. Open trapped-water areas

   Swollen composite parts sometimes cannot be saved by airflow alone. The technician identifies removal needs in the Rock Cave kitchen.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Rock Cave rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.

• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.
• Remove dry contents from neighboring cupboards without pulling fixed panels apart.
• Keep cleaning chemicals away from standing water if they can be moved safely.
