Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Yonkers, 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 does the refuse room matter in a water loss?
Because of what is in it. It sits at the bottom of a chute serving every floor, it is warm and enclosed, and the floor of it is not clean. Water arriving there is contaminated immediately, whatever it was when it left the pipe upstairs.
Can the chute itself carry water down?
It can, and it is an easy route to miss. A failure on an upper floor near the chute door runs into the shaft and straight to the bottom, so the room floods while the floors between show nothing at all.
What has to happen before the refuse room is dried?
The category of the water has to be settled and the room cleaned, not just pumped. Treating it as clean water because it came from a supply line upstairs is the common error, and it determines what can be dried and what has to go.
