1. Remove accessible water

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Tunnelton 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 Tunnelton address.
