Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Irvine, 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 was a springhouse built for?
A small building put over a spring to keep it clean and to use the cold water for storage. Where the house was sited near a reliable spring, which was the usual reason, the structure is still there and the spring is generally still flowing.
What happens when it is abandoned?
The water keeps coming and nobody manages where it goes. The overflow channel that carried it away silts up or is built over, so the flow backs up and finds a new route, frequently toward whatever was built after the springhouse was.
Can a spring be stopped?
Not usefully, and trying tends to make it worse by pushing the water sideways into the ground. The workable approach is capturing it properly and piping it away, which is what the springhouse was doing before it was abandoned. The original channel, where it can still be traced, is generally the right place to put the new pipe.
