2. Map the wet materials

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

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

4. Dry and verify
