Locate moisture beyond the puddle
The lower room may reveal water that passed through floor penetrations. Moisture mapping includes the ceiling and adjoining surfaces.
-
Open trapped wet materials when needed
The drying plan considers whether flooring can stay in place. Material condition and contamination determine removal needs.
