Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Longmont, 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
How does a creek move its channel?
In one event, when the flow gets high enough to leave its banks and cut a new route across the floodplain rather than returning. It is not gradual erosion; it happens over hours, and afterward the water is running somewhere it has not run for a very long time.
Does the old channel still matter?
Very much, because the ground remembers it. The buried gravels of the abandoned course are still there and still permeable, so ground water runs along the old line as well as the new one, and properties over it stay wetter than their neighbors.
Which map should be trusted?
The most recent survey rather than the title documents, and it is worth checking that they agree. Plans drawn before the channel moved are still in circulation and still being relied on, and a property's relationship to the water may not be what the paperwork says.
