A thaw leak may keep dripping after the valve closes because water is trapped in the assembly. The crew checks the full path and dries affected materials.

   Standing water is drawn off first so it cannot keep feeding porous materials.

2. Trace damp materials

   The team documents wet materials in adjoining rooms, not just the first room.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   A damaged carpet pad can be lifted so the underlying floor can dry.

4. Verify the dry-out
