An attic spill can wet the ceiling from above. Assessing the insulation and framing helps prevent a missed damp pocket.

1. Remove the pooled water

2. Trace damp materials

   Meters reveal moisture beyond the stain and help define the drying area.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Saturated insulation may be removed when it blocks drying of the cavity.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Drying is completed against measured goals for the materials and local conditions.
