A bathroom fan moves room air but cannot establish the condition of wood beneath tile. Moisture readings show whether drying needs to continue.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The Fairfax assessment includes trim, cabinets and wall bases near the tub. Readings show where surface cleanup is insufficient.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

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

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Fairfax crew whether materials are improving.
