2. Measure concealed moisture

   Cabinet backs and toe kicks can hold moisture out of sight. A targeted assessment reaches those likely pockets.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   The water category affects cleaning and material decisions. A sanitary supply spill is handled differently from a sewer backup.
