2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Baseboard trim can block evaporation along a leaking heating run. The crew removes limited sections when readings call for it.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry remaining materials. The technician records daily readings rather than stopping when the surface feels dry.
