4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Plymouth rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.

• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.
• Remove dry contents from neighboring cupboards without pulling fixed panels apart.
• Keep cleaning chemicals away from standing water if they can be moved safely.
• Photograph swelling, stains and the position of water before cleanup.
