Ceiling insulation may retain a radiator drip. Later construction starts after the structure reaches its drying target. A stain beneath the fixture can spread as insulation transfers moisture across the overhead assembly. The ceiling finish and insulation may require different treatment decisions.

Extract the escaped water

Map the wet materials

Dry and verify
