Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Hilliard, 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 is the detail at the bottom of the gable?
The point where the trim running up the rake turns the corner and returns onto the wall. Two planes meet there and the siding is cut around it, so it is a junction rather than a continuous surface, and on most of these it was sealed rather than flashed.
Why is it a problem on a house this age?
Because sealant is what is holding it, and sealant has a life. The detail works perfectly while the bead is intact and fails quietly once it is not, which on a house built in the late nineties is about now. Nothing about it looks different from the ground.
How many are there to check?
One at each end of every gable, so four on a simple house and more on a complex roof. They are all the same age and were all done the same way, so finding one that has failed is a reason to look at the others rather than to patch and move on.
