An open garage floor can still have wet lower drywall. The technician measures the wall base because damp structural material can remain after the floor appears dry. Garage concrete may dry while its adjacent drywall stays damp.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   After extraction, the restoration team tests baseboards, subfloor and adjacent room thresholds. Hidden spread changes the drying plan.

3. Handle affected materials

   When water sits behind a cabinet toe kick, the technician may open the area for cleaning and airflow. Removal decisions follow actual conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   Structural drying continues beyond the disappearance of surface water. The team checks materials rather than relying on a fixed number of days.
