Trace moisture through nearby materials
A dry-looking floor can hold moisture beneath its finish. The crew compares readings across affected and unaffected areas.

Open only materials that hold water

Wood subfloor and drywall dry at different rates. The restoration team follows each material toward its own drying goal.
