Water rarely stays where the leak starts.
Once it reaches porous materials, moisture can move beneath flooring, into baseboards, behind drywall, and around cabinetry before the full extent of the damage is visible.
That’s why a proper water damage assessment looks beyond the obvious wet area. Identifying where moisture has traveled helps determine what can be dried and saved, what needs to be removed, and what repairs may be required afterward.
