Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Jamesburg, NJ
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 the family room floor different?
Because it is poured on the ground while the rest of the house is over a crawl space. That was the standard plan here, and it means one building has two foundations meeting along a line that usually runs under a doorway or a step down.
What happens at the line between them?
It opens, gradually. A slab on the ground and a floor over a crawl space respond differently to a freeze and to wet ground, so the junction works a little each year, and eventually there is a gap at floor level where water can enter.
Does the drying differ on either side?
Considerably, and it is the reason a scope here crosses a room. A slab holds water in the concrete and releases it upward slowly, while a floor over a crawl space is dried from beneath as well. Two approaches are needed in one space.
