Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Catalina Foothills, AZ
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 exactly is a bajada?
The apron of gravel and sand spread along the foot of a mountain range, built up over a very long time by material washing off it. The houses here are on that slope, and the washes crossing it are how the range still drains.
Why can it flood with no rain here?
Because the storm is on the mountain. A monsoon cell sitting over the range sends water down the washes within the hour, and it arrives at a house in bright sunshine with no rain having fallen on the property at all.
How close to a wash is too close?
Further than it looks on a dry day, which is the whole difficulty. A wash that is a gravel path most of the year runs bank to bank in a storm, and the mapped extent of that is worth checking rather than judging by eye.
