2. Trace moisture through materials

   The technician measures dampness beyond the puddle to find affected building layers.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Soaked insulation may be removed to give framing a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A drying plan changes when readings reveal a pocket of trapped water.
