The storm tore a section of shingles off the roof, and wind-driven rain poured into the attic for hours. Now the insulation is soaked, the bedroom ceiling has a brown stain spreading across it, and more rain is in the forecast. Storm water damage comes from above, and the first job is keeping more of it from getting in.

Water-damaged ceilings and walls are removed, dried, rebuilt, and painted.
Rooms below the leak get full drying setups until readings show they are dry.
Tell dispatch whether rain is still getting in and where the damage is.
