24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in New Richmond, OH
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading. The affected area is sealed off from the rest of the house. Porous materials the water reached come out and are bagged, with drywall cut to a margin above the visible line; hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. The space is then dried and read, and the containment comes down only when cleaning and drying are both finished.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a cupola leak?
Because it is a small building sitting on top of a large one. It has its own roof, walls, corners and flashing where it meets the main ridge, and all of it was built at a scale where details are hard to execute. Sealant is frequently doing work that flashing should be doing.
Where does a cupola leak show up?
At the ridge inside the roof space, and then anywhere along it. Water entering at the top of a roof runs down the underside of the deck and drips from a rafter or a nail somewhere well away from the cupola. Tracing it back up to the ridge is what takes the time.
Is it worth keeping one that leaks?
It is a fair question and the answer is usually yes, because it is part of how the building looks and frequently how the roof space ventilates. Rebuilding the flashing at its base properly, in metal rather than sealant, deals with almost all of these. Removing one leaves a hole to close at the ridge.
