Treat water near a light or fan as an electrical hazard. Avoid touching the fixture and ask an electrician to assess affected parts.
Can a small Peotone ceiling mark hide wet insulation?
Yes. The paint mark may be smaller than the cavity damage. Moisture readings help the crew find saturated material above it.
