Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Orange, 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
How does water get into a kitchen duct?
Through the cap at the roof. The outlet has to let air out and keep rain from coming in, and after decades of weather the cap and its flashing are frequently the oldest untouched detail on the roof. Wind-driven rain and melting snow both get past a failed one.
Where does water in that duct come out?
At the lowest point in the duct, or wherever the duct has a joint. That can be several floors below the roof, in a kitchen belonging to somebody with no equipment fault at all. Because the duct is shared, the household that reports the problem is rarely the one that can fix it.
Why does it matter what the duct has in it?
Because water coming down a kitchen extract carries the deposits inside it. What arrives in a lower kitchen is stained and greasy rather than clean, so the cleaning and the material removal are different from an ordinary water loss of the same size, and the smell persists if it is treated as one.
