1. Extract water beneath the fixture

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