Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Carson City, NV
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 a rain-on-snow event?
Warm rain falling on a snowpack that is already lying. The rain melts the pack as it passes through it, so the water reaching the ground is the rain plus a good part of the snow, arriving in a few hours instead of over the weeks the melt would have taken.
Why does none of it soak in?
Because the ground underneath is frozen. Soil that would normally absorb a winter storm is sealed, so everything released runs across the surface to the lowest thing it can find, which around these houses is a window well or a below-grade doorway.
Does the roof need watching too?
It does, and this is the one event that makes it urgent. A snow load that has been sitting comfortably for weeks can double in weight in an afternoon as it takes up rain, so clearing a heavily loaded roof before the warm front arrives is worth doing.
