   Wet insulation beneath the kitchen can hold water against framing. Technicians assess whether it must come out before the cavity receives drying air.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Daily readings show whether the subfloor is losing moisture. Equipment stays directed at the affected layers until the drying record supports completion.
