Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Bowling Green, KY
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 water arrive in a basement that has never been wet?
Through the ground rather than from the surface. The limestone under these houses is opened up into channels, so water does not simply soak down where it falls; it moves along those routes and comes up somewhere else. A basement can take water that fell a considerable distance away.
Why did this start after twenty dry years?
Because the route underground can change. Channels in rock silt up, open up or divert after a heavy season, so a house that has never had water can start taking it without anything about the building altering at all. The change is in the ground, not in the foundation.
Does that change how the basement is dealt with?
It changes what can be promised. The building is dried and the wall is dealt with in the usual way, but the source is a route through rock rather than a defect anyone can seal, so the conversation about recurrence is a different one. Managing water inside is usually more realistic than excluding it.
