Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Smyrna, 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 a March loss slower than a January one?
Because nothing is running. Through the winter the furnace keeps indoor air dry and quietly helps every drying job in the house; in the summer the cooling does some of the same work. In March neither is on, so the building has no background drying at all and everything falls to the equipment. Three or four extra days is typical.
The house next door dried in half the time. Why is this one different?
Different decade, different assemblies. A postwar house with plaster on lath over a crawl space behaves nothing like an infill house with board on studs over a slab, even when they share a street and a loss of the same size. The scope is set by what the walls and floors are made of rather than by the address.
When can the flooring go back down?
After the substrate reads dry over consecutive days, and the substrate is whichever one this house has. A slab is tested for moisture in the concrete; a plank subfloor over a crawl space is read with pins in the wood and checked from below as well. The number that matters is the one from underneath the covering, not from the room.
