Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Morgan City, LA
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 water outside higher than the town?
Because the channel carries an enormous flow and the town sits low beside it. The protection around the town holds that out, which means the normal state here is a water surface outside that is above the ground level inside.
Where does the rain that falls inside go?
Into a collection system and then over the wall by pump, because it cannot drain out by gravity while the channel is high. A heavy August therefore depends entirely on the pumps running, with the river never coming over anything.
What decides how much flow comes down it?
A control structure far upstream, operated to divide the river's flow between channels. So the level beside this town reflects a basin-wide decision rather than anything local, and it can be high in weather that is entirely fine here. The operating record for that structure is published, so the flow past the town can be checked rather than guessed.
