Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Hayward, CA
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 fault creep mean?
The two sides of the fault sliding past each other slowly and continuously, rather than sticking and then releasing in an earthquake. It amounts to a fraction of an inch a year here, which is nothing to feel and a great deal for a rigid pipe.
What does it break?
Anything buried and rigid that crosses the line: water services, sewer laterals, gas lines and the odd foundation. The damage is cumulative, so a lateral that has been fine for forty years reaches the point of failure without anything having happened.
Can you tell whether a property is on it?
Yes, and it is worth doing. The trace is mapped in detail and the surface evidence is visible once it is pointed out: offset curbs, fences stepping out of line, a crack running across a sidewalk at the same angle for several blocks.
