A puddle can feed moisture into carpet backing and wood. Prompt extraction lowers the water left to soak deeper layers.

   A pump clears deeper accumulation before smaller extraction tools reach the film left behind.

2. Trace damp materials

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Wet wallboard that cannot dry in place is taken out before equipment runs.

4. Verify the dry-out
