Open only materials that hold water

A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 5% of area homes were built in 2000 or later. New finishes can still conceal wet subfloor. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Chicago Ridge was built in the 1970s. A ceiling below a heating run can show water first. Surface appearance alone does not establish a dry assembly.
A radiator placed below a window can wet trim and subfloor. The restoration team tests the assembly, not just the surface. Both owners and tenants can save source photos. The insurer and property agreement determine the relevant claim responsibilities.
