2. Map the wet materials

   Cabinet bases, wallboard and the appliance opening receive separate checks. This map helps the Hoven crew place drying equipment.

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Hoven technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Hoven owner.
