Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Dublin, 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
Is the brick itself the problem?
No, and that is worth being clear about. A single skin of brick is expected to let some water through; the gap behind it is meant to drain what does. The problem is when that gap cannot empty, so the water stands against the sheathing and framing instead, which is where the drying job actually is.
How is a wall with a cavity dried?
From the inside, almost always. Opening the brick is slow and rarely justified, so the board comes off the room face, the insulation comes out, and air is moved through the stud bays to reach the back of the sheathing. Where the cavity itself is holding water, it is drained at the bottom course first.
Why does this show up so late?
Because the wet face is the one nobody looks at. Water in the cavity sits on the outer side of the sheathing and works into the bottom plate before it ever reaches the room, so the inside of the wall reads dry through the early part of it. By the time a baseboard marks, the plate has been wet a while.
