Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Chicopee, MA
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 does a dike actually do?
Keeps the river out of the district behind it. It is an earth embankment along the bank rather than a wall, and it works well for that. What it cannot do is let the rain falling behind it out, which is the other half of the problem.
So where does the local rain go?
Into a collection system and then over the embankment, usually by pumping. That means a heavy autumn behind a dike depends on the pumps running, and a power failure during the storm produces flooding with the river still safely outside.
Does water get under it?
It does. An earth dike resists surface water rather than ground water, so a high river pushes through the ground beneath and the water table behind rises even while the embankment is holding perfectly well. That is why a wet basement here can coincide with a river that never came near the top of the dike.
