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

   Thermal imaging can point to suspect areas, and material readings confirm moisture. The technician records the findings before opening materials.

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.

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.
