Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Plymouth, 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.

An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
How does a covered well end up full of water?
Because the cover is not sealed and it works both ways. Blowing snow gets under the edge through the winter and then melts, and the dome that kept most of it out also stops what has collected from evaporating away. The well holds it against the window instead.
Why does this take a whole season to show?
Because nobody looks. The cover is opaque with snow on it for months, the window is in a basement nobody uses in winter, and the melting is slow rather than dramatic. By the time the frame and the sill show anything, they have been wet since December.
What is worth changing?
Checking under the cover a couple of times over the winter, which is the whole of it. The well and the cover are both doing their job most of the time, and the problem is that nobody has any reason to look. A cover that can be lifted easily is worth more than one that seals perfectly.
