Wet insulation and failed drywall.
Dry
Cavities and framing dried.
Verify
Readings match a dry reference.
A roof leak is slow and sneaky. Wind-driven rain enters at a lifted shingle, a cracked vent boot or worn flashing, runs along a rafter and soaks the insulation, and by the time a stain shows, the drywall above it has been wet for a while.
From the attic down
The inspection starts in the attic with a moisture meter and thermal camera, then follows the water to the ceiling and any wall it reached. Soaked blown-in or batt insulation is removed because it holds water against the drywall and framing.
- Attic decking and rafters checked
- Wet insulation bagged and removed
- Ceiling drywall opened only where readings say wet
Drying a ceiling without bringing it down
A ceiling that sags or holds a bulge is opened carefully to release the water. Otherwise, air movers and LGR dehumidifiers dry the cavity through small openings, and ceilings are dried to within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference before any repair. Leaks from plumbing above are covered on the ceiling leak water damage page.
