Prompt moisture mapping helps identify hidden layers before they stay wet longer.

   Moisture readings show whether a seemingly dry surface still hides wet backing.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Contaminated carpet padding or insulation often comes out before the structure is dried.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The crew records temperature, humidity and material condition through the dry-out.
