Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Bowman, 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
What is the wall between the piers for?
Closing the space, not carrying the house. The piers take the weight; the brick between them keeps animals and weather out of the crawl. Because it does no structural work, it is usually built straight onto the ground with no footing, which is why it cracks and leans while the piers stay where they are.
How does water get in through it?
At the bottom and at the cracks. The wall sits on soil that swells and settles, so the joint at ground level opens and any surface water running toward the house goes through it. Once inside, it spreads across the crawl and stays there, because nothing under a house dries quickly.
Is a cracked curtain wall a structural worry?
Usually not in itself, which is worth knowing before anybody panics about it. Cracks in the infill between piers mean the infill has moved. What matters is whether the piers themselves have settled, and that is a different inspection: their footings, their plumb, and whether the floor above them is level.
