Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Kenai, AK
The leak is traced above the stain and corrected, wet insulation comes out, the cavity is dried to a reading, and only then is the ceiling repaired. The leak is traced uphill from the stain and corrected before anything else. Soaked insulation comes out of the cavity, the framing and the back of the ceiling are dried and read to the dry standard, and only then is the ceiling repaired and painted, so the stain does not return through new paint.

Frequently asked questions
What is the arctic entry for?
Keeping the cold and the snow out of the house. It is an unheated room between the outside door and the inner one, so that nobody opens the heated part of the building directly to the weather, and boots and coats stay out of the living space.
What collects in there?
Meltwater, mostly. Snow comes in on boots and clothing and on anything carried through, and it melts on a floor that is not heated and has no drain. Over a winter that is a considerable amount of water going into a floor at ground level.
What is worth checking in one?
The junction where it meets the heated house, which is where the damage concentrates. A cold floor and wall against a warm one produces condensation at that line all winter, and it is behind whatever is stacked in the entry, so nobody sees it.
