Wet paper-faced drywall provides a place for growth if moisture stays trapped. The crew removes saturated sections when drying in place is not suitable.

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

   A moisture meter finds wet pockets around a ceiling seam and nearby trim. The crew follows that measured path into the lower room.

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.
