Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Denver, 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.

Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
The window well overflowed and the basement took water at that wall. What has to come out?
The carpet and pad along that wall, the bottom of the drywall, and any insulation behind it. Water over a window well arrives dirty, having come off the yard and through the well, so porous material it touched is removed rather than dried. The contractor then dries the foundation wall and the slab at its base, and the well gets a drain before the finish goes back.
How long does the ceiling take to dry after hail opens the roof?
Two or three days once the wet batts are out and the roof is tarped, which is faster than most places because the air here is dry in every season. The delay is usually in finding it: rain through a hail-punctured roof sits in the attic insulation and the stain appears days later, well away from where it came through. The ceiling is closed after the roof is repaired.
The slab cracked where the clay heaved. Can the floor go back down over it?
Once the concrete reads dry, yes, but not before. Expansive soil lifts a slab and opens a crack that seepage then uses, so the covering comes up along the crack and the slab is dried and read there daily. Laying a new floor over concrete that still reads wet traps it underneath, and the crack itself is sealed as part of the repair rather than the drying.
