If your ceiling is leaking, it may not have to be fully removed and replaced as interior ceilings are very able to dry out given the presence of uninsulated open ceiling cavity space behind it within the framing system. If you have an insulated ceiling leaking, such as a garage ceiling, it would need to be removed so we can access the wet insulation presumably inside the framing system because it will not dry out any other way. Insulation acts like a sponge to water and can harbor a lot of it inside wall or ceiling cavities. Overall, it depends on the volume of water involved in the damage and the location of the ceiling to decide if we need to remove it or salvage it.

• When we dry a home out after serious water damage, we begin with a moisture inspection. This involves using non-invasive scanning equipment to assess materials in the affected areas to determine what needs to be removed and what we can salvage such as drywall, insulation, cabinets, trim, flooring, etc.
• Our main goal is to remove the least amount of materials while assuring the home will be thoroughly dried and there will be no risk of mold or wood rot afterwards. To do this, we usually remove materials down to the studs and subfloor- those can almost always be dried and salvaged.
• After exposing all salvageable materials in a sealed work area, we thoroughly clean up the space before deploying a range of drying equipment and air filtration systems including industrial dehumidifiers, and air movers in order to dry the salvaged materials over the course of 1-3 days.
