Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Georgetown, 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
What are the stone fences doing here?
They were the field boundaries, laid dry without mortar generations ago and left when the land was developed. Some still stand as features and others were graded over, but the stone itself did not go anywhere and it is still in the ground.
How does a stone wall affect drainage?
It carries water. A course of loose stone with no mortar in it is far more permeable than the clay around it, so water moving through the ground finds it and travels along it, sometimes for a considerable distance, before coming out somewhere unexpected.
How would anyone know one is buried there?
From the line rather than the ground. A wet streak that runs dead straight across a lawn, and continues in the same line through the neighbors' yards, is the signature, and old property plats show exactly where the field boundaries used to be.
