A lower ceiling can hold water above the first visible stain. Keeping people clear and inspecting promptly protects against collapse and further saturation.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A shower pan leak often wets wood below the finish. The crew records the affected footprint before equipment is positioned.
