A carpet can feel nearly dry while its pad remains wet. The restoration crew checks each layer and removes material that cannot dry safely. The pad and carpet are assessed separately so a dry surface does not conceal water against the subfloor.

   Waterlogged drywall at the bottom of a wall may need selective opening. The team documents the removal before work proceeds.
