Roof intrusion, a leaking attic pipe, or overflowing condensate can wet material above the ceiling. Loose-fill insulation, roof sheathing, rafters, and ceiling board below can all retain moisture. Cases include wet attic insulation, attic condensation water, and attic water leak.

If a ceiling drips after an upstairs plumbing failure, shut off the supply when safe. Technicians then inspect both levels and start the dry-out.
