Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Olympia Fields, IL
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 does part of an occupied house freeze?
Because the heating was divided and one part of it was turned down. A zoned system lets a wing or an upper floor be shut off to save running it, and over a five-month freeze season that space sits close to outdoor temperature. The plumbing was never divided the same way, so the lines are still there.
Why does it run so long before anyone notices?
Because nobody goes in. A zone is usually shut down precisely because those rooms are not being used, so a failure there is not seen or heard from the part of the house people live in. The extent is set by how long it was before somebody opened the door.
What is worth doing before winter?
Establishing which runs go through the zones that get shut down, because that is not on any drawing and the two systems were laid out independently. Where a line passes through a space that will be cold, either the zone is left on low or the line is dealt with. It is a short exercise.
