Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Nampa, ID
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
How can an outside tap flood the inside of a house?
Because the valve is not where the handle is. These taps close a foot or more back inside the heated wall so the exposed part can drain and not freeze, which works as long as nothing is attached to it. When the outer section cannot drain, the split happens at the valve, inside the framing.
Why does it only show up in the spring?
Because the ice is what is holding it closed. The split happens in a hard freeze but the water does not go anywhere while the section is frozen, so nothing is seen. It appears the first time the tap is opened in warm weather, or when the freeze lets go, often months after the damage was done.
What is opened to deal with it?
The wall on the inside, below and around where the tap passes through. The water is released at the rim and runs down inside the bay, so the extent is downward rather than around the fitting. The board comes off along that run and the framing and insulation are read directly.
