Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Roseville, 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 is the decorative band made of?
Shaped foam, fixed to the wall and coated with stucco. It is light, quick to fit and produces the look of a molded surround at a fraction of the cost. It is also not a material that sheds water, and it sits directly against the sheathing.
Where does the water get in?
At the top edge and at the corners. The band projects from the wall, so its upper surface collects, and the coating cracks where the trim turns a corner because that is where it moves most. Both paths lead behind the foam rather than off it.
How is it repaired properly?
By sloping the top of the band so it sheds and sealing the corners, rather than by patching the crack alone. Where the sheathing behind has already gone, the trim comes off and that gets dealt with first, which is a larger job than it looks.
