Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Maple Grove, 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
How does snow off a car damage the house?
By arriving every day for five months. Each vehicle brings in a quantity of snow and ice that melts on the slab, and where that floor falls toward the house rather than the door the water runs to the wall shared with the living space and sits at its base. The volume over a winter is considerable.
What actually gets wet on the house side?
The bottom plate of the shared wall and the finish above it. Water standing against that wall on the garage side works into the framing at floor level, and the first thing anyone sees is usually a baseboard or a floor covering failing in the room on the other side, well after it started.
Is this fixed by drying?
Only temporarily. The wall dries and the next winter does the same thing, so the slope of the slab or the way water leaves the garage has to change for the repair to hold. That conversation happens during the drying rather than after it, because otherwise the job is annual.
