Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet organic materials. A wet paper backing can support growth if drying is delayed.

1. Extract liquid water

   A burst supply connection may flood the space under a refrigerator. The crew clears pooled water from the kitchen and identifies other rooms touched by the flow.

2. Trace the wet layers

   Water can slip behind the baseboard beside a refrigerator. The crew follows readings along the wall and cabinet edge instead of stopping at the visible stain.

3. Remove what cannot dry

   Ceiling drywall below the refrigerator may sag after absorbing water. The crew checks its condition and removes damaged sections when necessary.

4. Verify the dry-out

   The cabinet base and nearby boards may dry at different rates. The crew measures each material again before clearing the work area.
