Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Hattiesburg, 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 bathroom fan actually venting?
Into the attic, on a great many of these. The duct goes up through the ceiling and stops, sometimes pointed at a vent and sometimes lying loose on the insulation. Everything the fan removes from the bathroom is delivered into the roof space.
Why does that look like a roof leak?
Because it wets the underside of the deck. Warm wet air rises, meets the cool sheathing and condenses there, so the boards are damp and stained across an area and drops fall onto the insulation. A roof inspection finds nothing wrong with the roof.
How is it put right?
By carrying the duct through to the outside and terminating it properly, which is an hour of work in most attics. The harder part is the damage already done, because years of this softens sheathing and ruins insulation over a wide area.
