   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Shubert property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Shubert owner.
