I Have A Leaky Valve On A Toilet That Ran While We Were Away And The Ceiling Below Is Wet. Should All Wet Materials Be Removed?

LOUIE’S CLEANING and DISASTER RESTORATION of Vermillion and Yankton is currently working on a loss of this nature.   Me and my team were posed this very question and my response was “let’s take a look and odds are no tear out of wet materials will happen”.

LOUIE’S CLEANING and DISASTER RESTORATION of Vermillion and Yankton added a dehumidifier to the bathroom affected then in the garage directly below the upstairs bathroom where the leak occurred we drilled holes into the ceiling and are injecting hot, dry air into the ceiling cavity drying the wet batt insulation and wet timber. The job is 95% structurally dry after two days and the only removal of materials was the drilling of 20, 1/4″ holes into the ceiling.
