Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Covington, 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 front wall wet at the bottom?
Because the sidewalk is against it. There is no front yard on these, so the paving comes right up to the wall with no ground between to take water, and where that surface has settled toward the building it delivers rain straight to the base of it.
Can the paving be changed?
Not by the household, which is the practical limit. The surface is public, so its level and its condition are decided elsewhere, and reporting a settled slab is the available route rather than relaid paving. The work concentrates on what can be done from inside.
How is a wall finished when the source stays?
It is dried and finished on the understanding that the source is still there. Materials that tolerate being damp at the base, and a finish that can be taken off and replaced easily, are worth more here than a perfect job that has to be redone.
