Stain patterns are analyzed alongside thermal imaging and moisture meter readings from the attic or floor above to map the water's path.
Confirm source activity
Moisture readings determine if the leak is active or historical, which dictates the scope and timeline for remediation.
Contain
The room is sealed with containment sheeting under negative air pressure to prevent spread, as debris from ceiling removal falls downward.
Remove
