Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Brunswick, 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.

Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.

Frequently asked questions
The pine floor has cupped since the loss. Will it flatten out again?
Often it will, if it is dried slowly and from both faces. Dense old pine cups because the underside takes up water while the top stays sealed, and forcing the top dry makes it worse. Air is moved under the joists so both faces release together, and the boards are left to settle before anyone decides what to lift. Rushing this is what turns a saveable floor into a replaced one.
Should the crawl-space vents be opened to help it dry?
Not in the warm months here. Outdoor air through the summer carries a great deal of moisture, so opening vents on a humid day brings water in rather than taking it out. The space is closed and dried with equipment instead, and the readings on the joists and subfloor decide when it is finished.
There is no cold season here. Does that matter for drying?
It matters a great deal. In a climate with a real winter, dry indoor air finishes what the equipment started. With lows near 44 degrees in January and no freezing month, that never happens, so anything closed up while still damp stays damp. Every assembly is read to the dry standard before it is shut, because nothing will correct it afterwards.
