2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   Water from steam piping may travel behind a heater cover. The technician checks concealed edges after the heating system is safe.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Carpet padding that cannot dry in place is lifted. Air movement can then reach the remaining floor layers.
