Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Wyoming, MI
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 are two floors being dried from one leak?
Because of how the plan is framed. The middle level sits half a story above the lower one and half below the upper, and its floor and ceiling are shared with both. Water that enters there follows the framing in both directions, so there are genuinely two wet areas rather than one that has spread.
Which level finishes last?
The lowest, almost always. It is set partly below grade, so its floor and part of its walls are at ground temperature and release slowly, and it is where gravity sends anything that keeps moving. It is read separately from the upper levels and the job is not closed on the upstairs numbers.
Is a February loss quicker than a May one?
Yes, usually by several days. From November through March the furnace keeps the indoor air dry, so the whole building assists the equipment. In May the ground outside is wet, the lower level is still cold from winter, and nothing mechanical is running, which leaves the machines to carry all of it.
