Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Groveport, OH
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 should be under a window that is not there?
A pan at the bottom of the opening that catches anything getting past the frame and turns it back out to the face of the wall. Without one, the sill drains inward into the framing under the window, which is why the damage shows below the opening rather than at it.
Is it worth checking the other windows?
Almost always, because it is a detail rather than an accident. Whatever was done at one opening was done at all of them, so a house where one window has wet framing beneath it usually has the same condition developing elsewhere. A meter under each sill takes very little time.
What gets opened for one of these?
The wall under the opening and out to either side, because water arriving at the sill spreads along the framing as it falls. The board comes off below the window and the studs and plate are read directly. The window itself often has to come out for the repair to be worth doing.
