2. Measure hidden dampness

   The crew checks concrete, floor edges and wall bottoms. Recorded values provide a starting point for drying.

3. Address soaked layers

   If water is trapped beneath a finish, selective access may help drying. The technician explains the reason for the work.

   Controlled drying continues until affected materials meet the project goal. The final record documents progress.
