A household fan may leave water behind drywall. Damp building layers can support mold growth starting by the second day after the leak.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Carpet padding that cannot dry in place is lifted. Air movement can then reach the remaining floor layers.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
