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

4. Dry and verify

   A drying record lists the equipment, materials and readings. That evidence helps the Alma Center property owner plan finish work.
