1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   Water may collect in floor seams below the leak. The extraction team pulls it out and records which materials are affected.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   The crew checks floor finishes and wall corners as well as the overhead board. Bathroom water rarely follows a neat vertical path.

3. Open material that traps water

   A sealed ceiling can hold water against joists. The technician creates access where readings and material condition show it is needed.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   The last step is a moisture check, not a visual guess. The technician saves the readings before the ceiling is closed and finished.
