2. Map the wet materials

   A moisture meter shows whether the subfloor remains wet beneath finished flooring. The Highland Park technician compares affected and dry areas.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Highland Park crew opens access when material conditions require it.
