Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Riverside, 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 are the recharge basins for?
Replenishing the water supply. Water is spread in large open basins and allowed to soak down into the ground, which stores it far better than a tank would. It is a sensible way to run a water system in a dry place, and it raises the level underneath.
Why is a basement wet in a year with no rain?
Because the ground water here is not rainfall-driven. When the basins are being filled, the level under the nearby neighborhoods comes up regardless of what the sky is doing, so a dry spring can be the wettest time of year below ground.
Can the schedule be found out?
It generally can, and it is worth the phone call. The operating agency knows when the basins run, and matching that against when a property goes wet settles the question quickly. It also tells a household when to expect the next one.
