2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   Thermal patterns may point toward a damp area, and a moisture meter confirms it. The technician documents materials needing attention.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Pittsville crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The Pittsville team verifies the subfloor and lower ceiling before equipment removal. Rebuilding follows the completed dry-out.
