Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Roselle, 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 the pond reach the basement?
Through the ground rather than over it. The pond holds storm water at a level close to the depth these basements were dug to, so when it rises the water table around it rises as well, and the foundations nearest it are then below the surrounding water.
Is the pond working properly?
Usually yes, which is the awkward part. It is built to fill during a storm and let the water away slowly afterward, so the rise that wets the basements is the system doing its job. There is nothing to repair and nothing anybody has done wrong.
What is the sensible approach for a basement here?
Drainage and a pump sized for a seasonal rise, and finishes chosen on the understanding that the level outside will come up a few times a year. Treating it as an occasional accident rather than a recurring condition is what leads to the same work twice.
