   The crew checks ceiling cavities and rooms below to trace the discharge path.

3. Open trapped areas

The typical home around Chestnut Hill dates from 1950s; that clue helps frame material questions, not the actual water path. Plaster and older wall assemblies may respond differently to overhead water than modern drywall.

Water from a frozen overhead section can reach lower floors through ceiling openings. Where homeowners are common, prompt reporting and a clear moisture map help describe the loss.
