Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Greenville, MS
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
Where is the storm drainage here?
In the open, at the road. The streets were built with ditches rather than a piped system, so every yard drains across to a channel at the front of the property, and that channel is the whole of the drainage for the house.
Why does the ditch stop working?
Because it fills. Silt washes in, growth takes hold, and driveway crossings narrow it, so its capacity falls steadily over a year with nothing dramatic happening. The heaviest rain then arrives in December to a channel that is half what it was.
What happens when it backs up?
The water comes back across the yard, because the ground behind the ditch is flat. There is no fall to hold it at the road, so once the channel is full the water simply spreads toward the house, and on a slab that means at floor level.
