1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

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

4. Dry and verify

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
