Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Loveland, 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 are the lakes around these neighborhoods?
Worked-out gravel pits. The river gravels here were quarried for decades and the holes left behind were allowed to fill, so what looks like an ornamental lake is an excavation that went below the water table and is now open to it.
Why does that affect a basement several lots back?
Because the pit and the ground water are the same body. Digging into the river gravels opened a direct connection to the aquifer, so the level in the pit is the level under the surrounding neighborhood, not just at the water's edge.
What sets that level?
The river and the ditches, which means it is highest in late spring when the mountain snow is coming down. A basement here responds to the runoff season rather than to rainfall, and that is predictable enough to prepare for.
