Concrete can release moisture slowly through a covered floor. Controlled drying and repeated readings show whether conditions are improving.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Moisture meters show where water moved beneath flooring. The technician marks affected areas for the drying plan.

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.
