Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Evergreen, AL
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
How much difference does a missing gutter make?
A great deal at this rainfall. Sixty inches a year falling off a roof with nothing to catch it lands in a narrow band beside the wall, saturates that ground and splashes back onto the lowest boards. The same house with gutters would send all of it somewhere else.
What pattern does splash damage leave?
A band a foot or two up from the ground, at the bottom of the wall and the base of any cladding. It is the same height all the way round the building, which is what distinguishes it from a leak. The pattern is horizontal rather than local.
Is fitting gutters part of the work?
It is raised, because it is the cause rather than a refinement. Repairing the bottom of a wall that is being splashed by its own roof several times a month means doing it again, so the conversation happens while the damage is open and the reason is plain.
