Subfloor panels can absorb water around fasteners and seams. Finished layers may slow evaporation, so the drying setup follows readings from the material beneath.
Ice in a narrow appliance hose may block normal flow. Water can collect in a closed toe kick even when the room air feels dry. A repair decision follows the moisture findings. A record of removed material helps the next trade plan finish work after drying.
