What is behind wall water extraction?

Finding water inside a wall cavity, removing it through small openings or removed drywall, and drying the framing and insulation until readings are normal.

How do pros find hidden water damage in walls?

With moisture meters and thermal cameras, which show wet areas behind drywall before anything is opened.
