2. Trace moisture through the ceiling

   The water path through a Appleton ceiling may end at a light opening far from the fixture.

3. Expose materials that hold water

   The technician in Appleton keeps clear of wet electrical fixtures while planning any ceiling opening.

4. Dry and confirm the structure

   Dehumidifiers and air movers in Appleton address residual moisture after extraction.
