Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Corbin, 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
Why is the equipment in a separate building?
Because it sits over the well. Where a property has its own supply the pump and the tank go at the well head rather than in the house, so there is a small structure out in the yard containing everything that pressurizes the building, and none of it is heated.
What happens when something fails out there?
The house loses water and nothing else obvious happens. The discharge goes into the ground around the outbuilding rather than into a room, so there is no interior damage to report and the failure is noticed as a loss of supply. That can run for a long time before anyone goes out to look.
Does that mean there is nothing to dry?
Sometimes, and it is worth establishing quickly. Where the water stayed outside the job is a plumbing repair rather than a restoration one. Where the line runs back to the house underground, the trench and the ground at the foundation are checked, because that is the route it would take.
