2. Map the wet materials

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

4. Dry and verify

   Cabinets, subflooring and wallboard can dry at different rates. The local team monitors each affected layer at the Greencreek address.
