1. Remove accessible water

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Moisture meters show where water moved beneath flooring. The technician marks affected areas for the drying plan.

3. Address soaked layers

   Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.

4. Track drying results

   Daily moisture records help verify the dry-out. Replacement finishes wait until conditions are suitable.
