Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Colorado Springs, 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
Why is there a gap at the bottom of the basement walls?
It is deliberate. The ground under a slab here lifts when it gets wet, so the floor can rise, and the partitions are framed to hang clear rather than bear on it. After a loss it matters because the gap runs the full length of every wall, so water does not stop where the room does.
Does dry air mean the job finishes quickly?
The visible part, yes. With five freezing months and under twenty inches of rain a year, surfaces and framing come down fast once they are open. What does not follow the air is the slab and the ground beneath it, which take water in and give it back slowly, so the readings run well past the point the room looks done.
What happens if a slab leak is left running?
It stops being only a drying problem. Water feeding the soil under the floor makes that ground swell, and a slab that lifts takes the flooring and anything bearing on it with it. Finding and stopping the source early is what keeps the job about moisture rather than about a floor that has moved.
