   An attic leak may require water removal at the ceiling level and below it.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   A ceiling reading helps distinguish a small stain from broader saturation above.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Soaked insulation may be removed to give framing a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Technicians compare affected areas with nearby dry materials to judge progress.
