   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Gardner home when that layer cannot dry closed.

4. Dry and verify

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
