2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
