Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Norcross, 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 pond ornamental or functional?
Functional first. It was built to hold storm water back and release it slowly, and the planting and the fountain came afterward. That matters because the pond is meant to rise several feet in a storm, which people take as a fault.
What stops the pond outlet working?
The outlet structure, which is usually a pipe with a restrictor and a trash rack, and which is generally hidden in planting by now. Leaves against it in November are enough, and the pond then holds a level it was not designed to hold.
Who maintains it?
The association, which is worth checking rather than assuming. These structures need the outlet cleared and the basin dredged at intervals, and an association that has been treating the pond as landscaping has probably not been budgeting for either. The reserve study, where one exists, is the quickest way to find out which of the two applies.
