1. Remove accessible water

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Papaikou home when that layer cannot dry closed.
