Open what stays wet
Sheet vinyl sometimes gets lifted along one edge so the plywood below can breathe. The technician decides how much comes up from the readings.

Dry and confirm
Stubborn readings call for a second look. The crew checks for water trapped in a cavity, a closed cabinet or a layer that never got opened.
