Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Pocatello, 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
Why does a water leak smell like drainage?
Because they share a trench. The supply and the sewer were brought in side by side in one excavation, so a supply leak saturates the ground around the drain as well, and the backfill carries both toward the house. What arrives at the foundation is not necessarily what failed.
How is it established which one has gone?
By isolating them separately, which is quicker than digging. The supply is shut and watched and the drainage is tested on its own, and that usually settles it before anything is opened up. Doing the excavation first tends to find a wet trench rather than an answer.
Does the shared trench make the repair easier?
That part, yes. One excavation reaches both services, so if the drainage needs attention while the supply is being repaired it can be dealt with at the same time. The diagnosis is the hard half of these jobs rather than the digging.
