1. Remove accessible water

   Water behind the toe kick may need access before extraction. The local team opens the necessary area in the Chateaugay kitchen.

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Chateaugay, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Chateaugay team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Damp porous material needs prompt attention because mold may begin growing on it within 24 to 48 hours. Dial (888) 578-6508 for extraction in Chateaugay.
