Open and remove what is soaked

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The Census Bureau counts about 270 residents across the 1 ZIP code near Empire, and every one of those homes has a ceiling and a roof. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Empire was built in the 1970s. Copper supply lines from these years are now old enough to pinhole. A drip above a drywall ceiling can start small and spread out of sight.
Furnace ducts in unheated attics build up condensation in deep cold. That moisture can soak insulation and stain the ceiling. Duplexes and small apartment buildings around Empire often share plumbing. A leak in one unit may start in the other.
