Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Woodbury, 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 the air exchanger doing?
Ventilating the house. These are built tight enough that they need air brought in mechanically, so a unit in the basement pulls fresh air in and pushes stale air out, passing them by each other so the outgoing air warms the incoming air on the way.
Why does it produce water in winter?
Because warm moist air from the house meets a surface chilled by incoming air at minus temperatures. That condenses, in quantity, and the unit is built to collect it and drain it away. It is doing exactly what it should; the water is not a fault.
What is worth checking on it?
The drain line and the trap in it, before winter rather than during. A line that has dried out, kinked or frozen at the outside end sends the condensate into the cabinet and out onto whatever is below, and it does that on the coldest nights.
