Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Wheat Ridge, 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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
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
Why are the lots shaped like that?
They were market gardens. The city kept the old agricultural lot lines as it built out, so a property can run several hundred feet back from the street with the house at the front and everything else behind it. Two adjoining properties can therefore have completely different drainage behavior despite identical frontage.
What does a deep lot mean for drainage?
That most of the property is behind the building and draining toward it. Sixty years of sheds, slabs, drives and leveling out back have altered the fall, and a long lot only needs a slight reversal to send everything to the house.
Where on a deep lot is it worth looking first?
At the back of the lot rather than around the foundation. Walking the whole depth after a storm and seeing where the water actually stands tells you more than any inspection of the wall it eventually reaches. The back of a deep lot is also where sixty years of informal building has gone on without any drainage plan.
