Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Montgomery, 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
What does a roof turbine actually do?
Draws hot air out of the attic using the wind to spin it. The turning head both moves the air and, by spinning, throws off rain that reaches it. It is a simple thing with one moving part, sitting in the weather on a bearing.
What happens when one seizes?
It stops shedding. A turbine that no longer turns is an open throat pointed at the sky, and driven rain goes down it and onto the insulation below. The ventilation stops working at the same time, so the attic gets damper from two directions.
How can you tell from the ground?
Watch one on a breezy day, which is really the whole inspection. A turbine that is not turning while the trees around it are moving has seized. Replacing one is inexpensive; the attic insulation sitting underneath a seized one usually is not.
