-
Measure hidden dampness
A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

Address soaked layers
Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.

Track drying results
A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.
