How is water damage repair different from drying?

Drying removes the water; repair comes after, replacing drywall, reinstalling flooring and repainting the walls.

What are the signs of hidden water damage?

Musty odors, peeling paint or wallpaper, warped floorboards, sagging ceilings and visible mold spots.
