Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Eden Prairie, MN
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
The tub overflowed once. Why is the ceiling below being opened?
Because of the volume. A tub of that size holds around fifty gallons, and when that goes onto a floor at once very little stays in the bathroom: it runs between the boards into the joist bays and lands on the ceiling underneath. The bathroom itself is often the smaller part of the job.
There was no overflow, just a slow stain below. Where is that from?
Most often the connections under the tub deck. A tub set into a tiled surround has its waste and overflow fittings enclosed with no access, so a weep there runs into the floor structure for months with nothing visible in the room. Reaching it usually means opening the deck or the ceiling below, and the ceiling is normally cheaper.
Is a winter loss quicker here?
Noticeably. From November through March the furnace keeps the indoor air dry, so the building assists the equipment and a floor structure comes down faster. In June the lower level is still cool, the air outside is humid, and nothing mechanical is running, which leaves the machines carrying all of it.
