Remove the escaped heating water

-
Trace moisture through nearby materials
A ceiling mark below the leak may conceal damp insulation. The Stockton crew tests beyond the stain before selecting access points.
-
Open only materials that hold water
Carpet padding that cannot dry in place is lifted. Air movement can then reach the remaining floor layers.
-
Run equipment and verify drying
A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
