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
A technician returns each day to log temperature, humidity and material readings. Equipment stays until every wet material hits the dry target.

Homes from this period often have a laundry closet or hallway nook with sheet vinyl over plywood. Water spreads under the vinyl and into the wall bases.
