Drywall and water question

[ChiefaRoo]

I had a humidifier added to my heating system about 3 weeks ago. Dude tapped the hot water line with some kind of piercing clamp and then ran it via copper tubing into the unit. The hot water heater and main hot water line is located in attic space above my garage.

When I got home last night I saw some discoloration at the edge of my ceiling. I look closer and there were some pea sized bubbling of the paint. I think, oh crap and go look in the attic. Sure enough the clamp is drip, drip, dripping. No standing water but the area (6' x' 6') was wet.

I got it fixed this morning. They will pay to redo the drywall but I don't know if I want to put up with the whole process of cutting, mudding, sanding and all that. The drywall in the ceiling is not sagging and is hard to the touch except for the bubbles which basically popped.

Question: Will it dry out and not be an issue or should I get it replaced?

Any advice?
