- Do not touch powered appliances sitting in water.
- Move food and portable items from damp lower cabinets.
- Photograph swelling, wet flooring and cabinet stains.
- Avoid pulling fixed cabinets apart before the area is assessed.

The answer depends on whether moisture is trapped beneath or behind them. A technician checks toe kicks and cabinet bases before deciding on access. Limited opening may be enough in some kitchens.
