1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   The technician documents visible wet areas, then removes free water. A safe room setup keeps people away from softened ceiling board.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   Water from a sink can follow a pipe opening before it appears below. Mapping identifies the affected cavity beyond the visible drip.

3. Open material that traps water

   Wet board that has lost strength cannot be treated like firm drywall. The technician removes it safely and records the work.
