2. Map moisture beneath finishes

   A meter check traces the spill under flooring seams. The Brownsville technician compares wet readings with unaffected material.

3. Open materials that trap water

   Used wash water changes whether porous pieces should stay. The contractor assesses contamination before retaining them.

• Avoid wet plugs and electrical connections behind the appliance.
• Remove small dry items from accessible shelves without disturbing swollen panels.
• Keep cleaning chemicals away from the wet area and tell the crew about any spills.
