2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Oakdale, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Oakdale property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Oakdale owner.
