• Keep people clear of any bowed ceiling or wet fixture downstairs.
• Do not pry off tile or cut into a wall near hidden utilities.
• Move portable items from a dry approach, away from fresh drips.
• Note whether staining follows shower use, drain flow or both.

• Photograph the ceiling before opening wet drywall
• Keep drying readings from each visit

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
