1. Remove accessible standing water

   A ceiling reading helps distinguish a small stain from broader saturation above.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Wet ceiling material may require removal when it is sagging or holding water.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Final checks help show when structural drying is complete.
