   A dry looking tile face cannot show the condition below. Readings help locate concealed wet layers.

3. Address soaked layers

   Adhesive, underlayment and floor covering can respond differently to water. The plan follows the assembly.

   A surface may look better before hidden layers dry. The crew confirms moisture levels before ending work.
