Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Kennesaw, 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
Why does the lawn not soak up the rain?
Because there is very little soil in it. The topsoil was stripped and sold when the subdivision was cut, and what is under the grass is clay that was compacted to build on. Water lands on it and runs, in the way it runs off a drive.
What can be done about a lot like this?
Getting real depth of soil back into the ground next to the house changes it more than anything else. Aerating and building up the bed around the foundation gives water somewhere to go in the first few feet, which is the part that matters to the building.
Is a newer house better off in a storm?
Not necessarily, and people are often surprised by that. The house itself is in good order, and the reason water is at the door has nothing to do with its age. A twenty-five-year-old house on stripped ground takes more than an old one on settled soil.
