The tech traces the leak to its appliance, extracts standing water and uses a meter to check cabinets, baseboards, subfloor and the ceiling below. Toe kicks and wet laminate may come off, and a cabinet drying system pushes warm air under the base. Dehumidifiers finish the job until every material reads dry.
