My roof was recently punctured (golf ball size hole) by a flying branch during a really bad wind storm. As a result, my bedroom ceiling sheetrock (drywall) got wet.
I have 4 parallel water stains where the water migrated from joist to joist. The worst part right below the hole in the roof.
The water damage looks minimal, NO water actually dripped through the ceiling onto the floors and I removed the wet blown-in insulation the next day when I noticed the damage.....
MY QUESTION:
It has been 5 months now and there are no signs of sagging or cracking in the ceiling. The insurance company will pay to replace the ceiling. My reservation is all the blown-in insulation will be a huge mess and I just painted the crown moldings and walls in this room and dread having to redo everything. Is ripping out and replacing the sheetrock my only option??
THANKS!!
