A wet room needs more than open windows. The drying technician considers humidity, air movement and the materials behind finishes.
- Shut off the water if a safe supply valve is accessible.
- Keep children and pets out of the wet carpeted area.
- Lift lightweight belongings from the wet floor.
- Photograph the wet patch and affected furniture.
- Avoid running a household vacuum on wet carpet.
