Cabinet trim can hide a wet wall base. Opening the right area permits a more effective drying setup. Removing a soaked trim piece may expose the wall for drying.

1. Stop the source safely

   An accessible shutoff can limit the Elgin refrigerator leak when the floor is dry. The appliance technician handles the failed connection. Photographs of the first puddle help show where the release began.

2. Extract reachable water

   The operator focuses on standing water first. Less liquid remains to feed the subfloor after extraction. Floor edges receive another look after the obvious pool disappears.

3. Map concealed moisture

   A ceiling below the kitchen receives attention when water travels between floors. Unsafe sagging material stays off limits. Ceiling insulation may hold water above a visible mark.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records the drying course for the property owner. A final check covers the known wet areas. The technician notes any remaining area that needs reassessment.
