Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Arnoldsville, GA
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 much water comes off an outcrop?
All of it. Bare granite absorbs nothing, so every inch that falls on it runs to the edge, and a broad flat outcrop uphill of a house delivers the rainfall of its whole area onto the strip of soil at its margin.
Why is the soil beside it so poor?
Because there is very little of it. Soil forms slowly on granite and washes off the margins as fast as it forms, so the ground taking that concentrated flow is a few inches deep over more rock, with almost no capacity to absorb.
What kind of drainage works here?
Interception and piping to an outlet, since there is nothing to soak into. A pit dug beside an outcrop hits rock within a foot or two, so the approach is catching the flow at the rock edge and carrying it away on the surface.
