Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Augusta, 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 high is too high for a planting bed?
Any bed whose surface is above the floor inside is too high, and once it is within a few inches of the siding it is too high as well. The building was detailed to have a gap between the ground and the wall covering, and everything about how that wall sheds water depends on the gap still being there.
What does the buried wall actually do?
It takes up water and holds it. Brick weeps that were meant to drain the cavity are below the mulch line and cannot discharge; siding that was meant to end clear of the ground is sitting in wet material. Both put moisture into the structure behind them steadily rather than in an event.
Is lowering a bed a real fix?
It is most of one, and it is cheap. Cutting the bed back to expose the bottom of the wall and grading it to fall away restores the gap the building needs. The plants can be replanted lower; what should not go back is the practice of adding an inch of fresh mulch on top every spring.
