Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Brighton, CO
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 gap under the floor for?
It is deliberate, and it is there so the ground can move without lifting the house. The floor spans between foundation walls rather than bearing on the soil. For a drying job it means there is a shallow enclosed space under the living floor that water can reach and cannot leave, which is the opposite of a slab.
How is water got out of a space nobody can get into?
Through whatever access exists, and sometimes through a new opening. The void is reached at a hatch or by lifting a section of floor where the readings are worst, the water is extracted, and ducting is run in to move dry air along it. Making that access is normally the largest single item in the job.
The rooms are dry already. Why is anything still running?
Because the rooms were never the problem. Air this dry finishes exposed surfaces in a day or two, which is misleading. The underside of the floor and the void below it are read on their own, and equipment stays until those numbers are steady, regardless of how the living space feels.
