Subflooring may stay damp under vinyl or laminate. Technicians check the layer below the finish instead of judging by appearance alone.

   Wet carpet and hard-floor edges get attention first so liquid does not sit against trim.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   A ceiling reading helps distinguish a small stain from broader saturation above.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Material removal is documented before the drying equipment is positioned.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A drying plan changes when readings reveal a pocket of trapped water.
