2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   The crew compares suspect areas with unaffected materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Soaked ceiling materials may need controlled removal to give a cavity drying access.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Room humidity and material moisture are tracked as separate indicators.
