A frozen pipe leak may soak carpet padding even when the carpet top feels nearly dry. The technician checks beneath the surface before choosing drying steps.

   When wall material traps water, a controlled opening can make drying possible.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Technicians compare affected areas with nearby dry materials to judge progress.
