1. Remove accessible water

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

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Middle Island address.

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