Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Framingham, 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
Why is a plumbing chase a difficulty?
Because it is closed and it is shared. The pipework serving several homes runs up one shaft with board over it at every level, so a failure inside the chase drops straight down through the building. Nobody can see into it, and reaching it means opening a wall in somebody's home.
Which unit gets the damage?
The ones below, and frequently not the one at fault. Water released in the chase on the fourth floor passes the third and second on its way down, wetting board and insulation as it goes. The household that calls it in is usually not the household whose fixture failed.
How is access usually arranged?
Through the building's management rather than between neighbors, and it needs to be quick. The contractor has to reach the chase at the level of the failure and check it at every level below, which means entry to several homes. Buildings that have an access panel on each floor make all of this far shorter.
