   A small access opening may reveal a larger wet bay. The restoration team follows moisture readings rather than cutting only at the stain.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

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

A stain can be painted over quickly, but trapped moisture remains. The drying team verifies material readings before finish repairs begin.

• Stop using the shower and tell other occupants which fixture is off limits.
• Stay out of rooms with sagging ceiling board.
• Do not touch a wet shower light, fan or downstairs fixture.
