Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Tonawanda, NY
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 wall along the drive the wet one?
Because that strip takes more water than anywhere else on the property. A shared drive is a paved channel a few feet wide with a wall on each side, and both roofs drain toward it, so the ground there is carrying double what an open side yard would and it has nowhere to spread.
Does the neighbor have the same problem?
Usually, and on the same wall for the same reason. The drive is shared and so is the water, so the building on the other side of it is taking the same load on its own flank. It is worth a conversation, because anything done to the drive affects both.
What changes the situation?
The fall of the paving and where the roofs discharge, both of which are shared decisions. Getting water out of that channel to either end rather than letting it sit against the walls is the whole of it, and it cannot be done from one side alone.
