2. Trace damp materials

   Readings at the ceiling and framing show whether an attic leak moved outward.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   The technician opens wet materials only where needed to reach retained water.

4. Verify the dry-out

   Dehumidifiers pull water from the air as air movers work across wet surfaces.
