Water at an inlet connection needs a source assessment. Once the flow stops, a drying specialist maps where it entered the construction.

   A Emerson drying contractor records where readings stay high. The map guides access and later progress checks.

3. Open materials that trap water

   A swollen cabinet base may block airflow. The crew evaluates removal when the board cannot dry in place.
