2. Trace damp materials

   Wall cavities beside a split pipe are checked for absorbed water.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Floor layers are assessed for trapped water that surface airflow cannot reach.

4. Verify the dry-out

   A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.
