2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Glen Aubrey, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
• Move loose belongings away from the drip without standing below a sagging area.
• Photograph the kitchen floor and lower ceiling from safe positions.
