Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Westminster, 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 ditches running between the houses?
Irrigation laterals, carrying water to land downstream under rights that predate the subdivision. They were kept when the farmland was developed because the water still has to get to where it is owed, so they run through the neighborhoods. The ditch companies predate the city and they are still operating entities with their own rules.
Why is a basement wet in July here?
Because that is when the laterals are running. They carry water through the dry months and seep along their length, so the ground beside them is at its wettest in the season when a household would least expect a water problem.
Can a ditch be piped or moved?
Only with the ditch company's agreement, and that is a formal process rather than a conversation. The water rights are separate from the land, so a householder owning the ground a lateral crosses does not own what runs in it.
