Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Danbury, CT
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 is a pumped storage reservoir?
A lake used to store energy. Water is pumped up into it when power is cheap and released through turbines when it is needed, so the level rises and falls according to demand rather than according to how much rain has fallen.
How much does the level move?
Enough to matter to the ground beside it, and on a cycle unrelated to the weather. There is also a larger seasonal drawdown, so a property that is comfortably above the water in August may have a quite different relationship to it in spring.
Can the reservoir schedule be found out?
Broadly, yes. The operator publishes the seasonal levels, and matching those against when a basement goes wet usually settles whether the cause is the lake or the rain. It is a more useful question here than anywhere else. Two or three dated observations lined up against the published levels usually settle it for good.
