Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet organic materials. A wet paper backing can support growth if drying is delayed.

1. Extract liquid water

   Liquid trapped against a cabinet toe kick can keep wicking upward. Technicians extract the water they can reach and mark where concealed moisture needs further attention.

2. Trace the wet layers

   A damp ceiling below the kitchen can indicate water between joists. Technicians check both sides of the assembly to locate the materials holding moisture.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Waterlogged underlayment beneath laminate may not dry in place. The team documents and removes affected material as the drying plan requires.

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.
