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

3. Open trapped-water areas

4. Dry and verify

   A drying record lists the equipment, materials and readings. That evidence helps the Sesser property owner plan finish work.
