   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Barataria home.

• Stop the dishwasher and close an accessible supply valve if the area is safe.
• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
