An upstairs leak may have little surface water after draining below. The crew still checks the ceiling cavity and extracts any accessible collected water.
-
Trace moisture through nearby materials
A ceiling mark below the leak may conceal damp insulation. The Glenview crew tests beyond the stain before selecting access points.

Open only materials that hold water
