Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Bozeman, MT
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
How is a leak in the floor heating found?
By pressure first and by heat second. The system is isolated and watched to confirm it is losing, and then the floor is surveyed for the temperature pattern, because a leak in warm tubing shows as a warm area. That narrows it to a small region before any concrete is cut.
Why does the house get cold rather than wet?
Because the water goes into the slab rather than into the room. A failure in embedded tubing loses pressure and the system stops working properly, so the first thing anyone notices is that the heating is not keeping up. The water is in the floor the whole time.
What happens when the slab is cut to reach it?
Cutting into the slab at the point the survey identified, which also cuts the tubing, so the repair and the access are the same operation. It is precise work and it is why the locating stage is done carefully; a rough estimate means a much larger opening than necessary.
