Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Olive Branch, 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.

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
What is a fill pad?
A raised platform of imported soil that the house is built on, used to lift the finished floor above ground that drains badly. It solves the problem for the building and leaves the surrounding lot exactly as wet as it was.
Why does the edge of it fail?
Because that is where compaction is hardest to achieve. Fill settles most at its perimeter, so the slope that was built to carry water away from the house flattens over the first several years and eventually falls back toward it.
What is worth doing in the first decade?
Topping up and re-establishing the fall, more than once, rather than waiting. It is inexpensive while it is a matter of soil and grass, and it is the difference between a pad that keeps working and one that has to be dealt with properly.
