Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Concord, NH
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
Why is a basement garage a weak point?
Because the drive delivers to it. The garage floor is the lowest part of the property and the driveway is a paved surface falling toward it, so everything that lands on that drive arrives at the door. In winter it is worse: snow piled beside the drive melts for weeks and all of that takes the same route.
Does water in the garage reach the rest of the house?
Frequently, yes. These garages usually share a wall with finished basement rooms, and the slab is continuous or nearly so. Water standing on the garage floor works under the wall plate and into the flooring on the other side, so a loss that looked like a garage problem turns up in a bedroom.
What helps at an opening like that?
A channel drain across the head of the apron, and keeping it clear. Intercepting the drive's runoff before it reaches the door is the only thing that deals with the volume; a seal on the door alone is holding back a flow it was never meant to stop. In winter, clearing that grating matters more than clearing the drive.
