2. Trace moisture through materials

   Floor finishes may cover wet underlayment, so the crew checks below the surface.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   When wall material traps water, a controlled opening can make drying possible.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Technicians compare affected areas with nearby dry materials to judge progress.
