2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Kurtistown technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Kurtistown crew records each affected material.
