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

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Glenshaw technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Glenshaw report documents the dry-out and any removed material.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
