An attic ceiling can trap water over insulation. A crew checks whether that material can dry or needs removal to expose the framing.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Wall corners and baseboards are checked because water can wick upward.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Wet ceiling material may require removal when it is sagging or holding water.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily measurements show whether the wet layer is releasing moisture.
