1. Extract water beneath the fixture

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   The technician compares damp drywall with a dry reference section. This check helps define the drying area beneath the upstairs fixture.

3. Open material that traps water

   Soaked insulation and soft drywall may need removal to let wet framing dry. The crew photographs the condition before opening the cavity.

   The crew logs equipment use and material readings for the claim record. Paint and board replacement follow the verified dry-out.
