Attics can become cold even when the rooms below stay heated. Once an attic pipe thaws, water may run along joists, soak insulation and appear in more than one ceiling location. Ceiling drywall can lose strength when saturated.
The first priority is a safe shutoff when water is flowing. Then a pipe professional fixes the cause and a local crew measures the remaining dampness.
