Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Twin Falls, 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 water arrive at the foundation when it barely rains?
Because it cannot soak away. There is very little soil before the rock starts, so what does fall moves across the top of the stone rather than draining down through ground, and a building sitting in that shallow layer is in the path. The volume is small and it has nowhere else to go.
Why are there so few basements?
Because digging one means going into rock. The soil layer is thin, so an excavation of any depth stops being earthmoving and becomes breaking, which is expensive. Most of these houses sit on a slab or a shallow crawl for that reason rather than by preference.
Can foundation drainage be installed?
With difficulty, because it has to discharge somewhere. A drain works by taking water to a lower point, and on shallow ground over rock there often is not one within reach. The practical approach is usually keeping water away from the building above ground rather than collecting it below.
