Carpet pad and insulation can hold moisture after a room looks normal. Drying equipment and readings address that concealed water. Carpet that feels dry can still hide wet padding.

Remove standing water
The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.
-
Map moisture
A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.

Remove soaked material
Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.

Dry and verify
