An attic spill can wet the ceiling from above. Assessing the insulation and framing helps prevent a missed damp pocket.

1. Remove the pooled water

   A wet carpet may need repeated passes to pull water from the backing and pad.

2. Trace damp materials

   The team documents wet materials in adjoining rooms, not just the first room.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   The technician opens wet materials only where needed to reach retained water.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Repeat meter readings show whether affected wood and wallboard are losing moisture.
