-
Open the wet layers

Dry and verify

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
With 12% of area homes older than 1960, plaster and original flashing still hold up many Bluffton ceilings. Those materials dry slowly and need patience. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Bluffton was built in the 1990s. Builder-grade bath fans from these years can drip condensation when the duct is not sealed or slopes the wrong way. The stain forms around the fan housing.
A short cold snap after a mild spell can catch homeowners off guard. Check attic pipes and ceilings after a hard freeze. An owner can approve the work directly. The crew writes down the scope, and the owner decides what comes out and what stays.
