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

   A refrigerator should not be dragged across swollen floorboards. The appliance professional gains access to the source safely. Floor protection may be needed before the appliance moves.

2. Extract reachable water

   Accessible wet surfaces are vacuumed or extracted as their materials allow. The technician checks neighboring rooms. Recovering liquid early reduces the load on later drying equipment.

3. Map concealed moisture

   The assessor follows the water path past the refrigerator. A dry-looking surface may still cover a wet subfloor. Adjacent flooring is checked so the drying scope follows the spread.

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.
