1. Remove accessible water

   Visible water is recovered first, then the technician checks for concealed spread. The Summit dry-out is based on material readings.

2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Summit crew place drying equipment.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Summit property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Summit report documents the dry-out and any removed material.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
