Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Tigard, OR
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
Where do these rooms leak?
At the joint with the house and at the panel seals, in that order. The glazing itself is sound; what fails is the flashing where the new roof meets the old wall, which was fitted against a finished elevation, and the gaskets between panels, which harden and shrink after a decade of weather.
Is water inside always a leak?
No, and it is worth telling them apart. A glazed room in this climate condenses heavily, so water running down the inside of the glass on a cold morning is the room doing what it does. A leak shows up after rain rather than after a cold night, and it appears at a joint rather than over the whole surface.
What does the junction with the house need?
A proper flashing tucked behind the cladding of the original wall, not a bead along the top of the new roof. Most of these were built the quick way, and the seal is now a decade past its life. Redoing that junction properly is the repair that stops the problem rather than deferring it.
