Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Lawrenceville, 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 is the foyer window a problem?
Because of where it is rather than what it is. It sits two stories up in a wall nobody can reach, so the sealant around it has never been touched since the house was built. On a sun-facing elevation here that material is well past its life.
Where does the foyer water come out?
At the bottom. Water entering at a window head twenty feet up runs down inside the wall and appears at the foyer floor or in the room behind it, so the damage is at ground level and the fault is at the top of the house.
What makes this work awkward?
Access, more than anything technical. Drying a two-story wall and putting its finishes back means scaffolding or a lift inside the house, and that has to be planned rather than discovered. It is the part of the job that sets the schedule.
