2. Map the wet materials

   The source and duration help interpret moisture patterns. A local technician documents the Lunenburg property's wet layers.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Lunenburg property follows the actual assembly.
