A damp insulation batt can keep wood wet after the leak stops. The restoration team opens the cavity where needed and monitors the framing.

1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   A tub or shower spill can run across the lower floor. The crew extracts that water before mapping hidden overhead moisture.

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

   Insulation often holds water long after dripping stops. The crew takes out saturated sections to expose framing for controlled drying.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   Structural drying continues until the measured area reaches its target compared with unaffected material. The team then records completion.
