Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Moorestown-Lenola, 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
Who owns the creek behind the house?
Generally the householders on either side, to the middle of the channel. It is private ground rather than a public watercourse, which means nobody is coming to clear it and each owner is responsible for their own stretch. That comes as a surprise to most owners, who assume the township is looking after it.
What happens when one stretch is neglected?
Everyone upstream finds out. Fallen timber, garden waste or a collapsed bank in one property's length restricts the channel, and the water backs up across the gardens above it. The damage is rarely on the lot causing it. The obstruction and the flooding can be several properties apart, which makes the cause hard to see.
Is there anything to be done collectively?
It is the only thing that really works, and it is worth starting before an event rather than after. A few neighbors agreeing to clear their lengths in the same autumn achieves more than any one of them can manage alone.
