Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Saint Cloud, 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
What is different about a cut opening?
Everything about its edges. An opening formed when the wall was poured has a clean cast face and the reinforcement returned around it; one cut afterward has a saw-cut edge through cured concrete with the steel simply severed. The frame is sealed against that.
Does that make it leak?
It makes the seal harder to achieve and harder to keep. A bead against a rough saw-cut face has less to hold onto than one against a cast surface, and five months of frost work at it every year, so these tend to admit water at the perimeter of the frame.
What about the well outside?
It was usually put in at the same time and to the same standard, which is worth checking. A well added with the window often has no drainage at its base because that would have meant connecting to something, so it holds water against the new opening.
