Drying cabinets and floors
The restoration team extracts the standing water, then checks under cabinets, behind toe kicks and along wall bottoms with meters and a thermal camera. Toe kicks come off so air can reach the cabinet bases, and air movers and LGR dehumidifiers dry the subfloor and drywall until readings match a dry reference. Laminate and engineered flooring that swelled is lifted; tile usually stays. The equipment side is covered on the structural drying page.
