2. Map the wet materials

   A moisture meter shows whether the subfloor remains wet beneath finished flooring. The Wapwallopen technician compares affected and dry areas.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Wapwallopen team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.
