2. Trace damp materials

   A technician tests the subfloor where the puddle crossed flooring seams.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   A damaged carpet pad can be lifted so the underlying floor can dry.

4. Verify the dry-out

   The crew records the progression and adjusts equipment when a layer dries slowly.
