   A wet carpet may need repeated passes to pull water from the backing and pad.

2. Trace damp materials

   Meters reveal moisture beyond the stain and help define the drying area.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Floor layers are assessed for trapped water that surface airflow cannot reach.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Final moisture notes document the condition before rebuild work is considered.
