Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Mansfield, 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.

An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
What is the milk door?
A small hatch through the kitchen wall with a door on each side, so that a delivery could be left from outside and collected from within without anyone opening the house. Almost every house of this age here has one somewhere.
What was done with them?
Closed up, mostly, and rarely well. The outer door was sealed or covered with siding and the inner one was boarded over or hidden behind cabinets, so what remains is an unfilled void through an outside wall with a patch on each face.
How is one located now?
From outside, by looking at the siding below kitchen window height for a patch or a change in the courses. It takes a minute and it is worth doing whenever a kitchen wall is wet with no plumbing to account for it.
