Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Boone, NC
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 rime ice?
Ice that forms directly out of fog when the droplets freeze on contact with a surface. At this elevation the town spends a good deal of the winter inside the cloud, so it builds on roofs, gutters, vents and railings without rain.
Why does that matter more than snow?
Because it coats rather than lands. Snow sits on horizontal surfaces and can be cleared; rime forms on every face including the undersides, so it blocks vents, seals gutters shut and loads things that were never designed to carry it.
What does it mean for drying out a building?
That the outside is no help for months. A wall here spends long stretches at a hundred percent humidity inside cloud, so nothing dries outward, and any drying has to be done entirely from within the building. Equipment has to do the whole job, and it has to keep doing it for longer than it would lower down.
