3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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