Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Fall River, 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 is different about the house at the back?
Almost everything about access and drainage. It sits lower in the lot more often than not, takes the roof water from the building in front of it, and has no frontage on the street. Every hose, dehumidifier and sheet of board involved in a job there goes down the side passage by hand.
Does a shared water service cause difficulties?
It does when something has to be shut off. One valve controls both dwellings, so stopping a failure in one house takes the water from the other, and that arrangement is often not documented anywhere. Establishing whose line is whose before there is an emergency saves a considerable amount of time during one.
Who deals with the ground between the two buildings?
It depends on how the lot has been divided, and frequently nobody has. When both houses are in one ownership it is straightforward; when they were sold separately the yard, the passage and the drainage across them can belong to one party while serving both. It is worth knowing which before a drainage repair is proposed.
