Remove what cannot dry
Wet insulation beneath the kitchen can hold water against framing. Technicians assess whether it must come out before the cavity receives drying air.

The lower ceiling cavity needs its own final readings after a kitchen leak. The crew records those results before any rebuild work is quoted.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 57% of housing units in the selected Wilmette ZIP areas were built before 1960. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Wilmette was built in the 1950s. The original floor assembly deserves separate moisture readings. A lower room may show staining first when water follows gaps through the floor assembly.
Cold weather can make a hidden fitting failure harder to notice. A stain below the kitchen calls for checks of the upper floor and lower ceiling cavity. Owners should track the work completed in each building layer. The lower unit may need inspection when water has crossed a shared ceiling.
