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

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Schertz team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

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