What must be done to verify that the drying process has been successful?

To verify that the drying process has been successful, it is essential to document verification with moisture meters. Moisture meters are effective tools that measure the moisture content in materials, providing quantitative data that can confirm whether the materials have reached acceptable dryness levels. This process goes beyond a simple visual inspection or anecdotal evidence; it provides a systematic and objective means to assess the moisture levels.

Relying on moisture meters ensures that acceptable dry levels are achieved according to specific environmental and safety standards, which is critical in preventing potential issues such as mold regrowth. By documenting the readings taken from moisture meters, technicians can create a thorough record of the drying process, demonstrating compliance with regulations and ensuring that all materials are adequately dried before proceeding to the next steps in remediation or restoration.
