An intact floor can hide a wet layer underneath. A leaking buried supply pipe may release water into soil before moisture enters through slab joints, cracks or penetrations, so a wet spot alone cannot pinpoint the break.

Pipe replacement does not remove moisture trapped beneath a cabinet. A drying specialist measures concealed areas and decides whether access openings are necessary.
