Damp backing paper can support mold growth after water soaks through drywall. The enclosed toe kick may retain humidity after the floor is wiped.

1. Extract liquid water

   When water reaches the kitchen threshold, technicians remove accessible liquid in both rooms. Early extraction leaves less moisture for the subfloor to absorb.

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

   A swollen toe kick can conceal a damp cabinet base. Selective removal may expose the affected area without disturbing dry sections of the kitchen.

4. Verify the dry-out

   A clean-looking floor can still contain moisture below its finish. Technicians compare follow-up measurements with the drying targets for that material.
