1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers draw moisture from exposed materials. Daily readings show the Clinton crew whether drying is progressing.

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
