1. Remove accessible water

   The crew collects liquid from seams and nearby cabinets to limit continued absorption. A Mcdaniel assessment defines where work begins.

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

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Mcdaniel crew whether drying is progressing.

• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.
• Remove dry contents from neighboring cupboards without pulling fixed panels apart.

• Photograph swelling, stains and the position of water before cleanup.
