Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Coatesville, PA
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
Water came off the hill rather than from the sky directly. Does that matter?
It matters for what is in it. Water that has crossed ground is treated as contaminated, so porous material it touched is removed rather than dried. It also tends to arrive with silt, which has to be cleaned out of the cellar before drying starts, or the equipment simply works against a wet deposit on the floor.
What are the bearing pockets and why are they opened?
They are the gaps in the party wall where floor joists sit. Water at the cellar wall runs into them and soaks the end grain of the joist, which is buried in masonry where nothing in the room can reach it. The area is opened at the bearing so the ends can be read and dried, otherwise wet wood is closed up inside the wall.
Why is a September loss harder than a June one?
Because of what follows. September is the wettest month here and the weeks after it get cooler rather than warmer, so there is no warm stretch to help finish. A June loss is followed by warm weeks that assist. Equipment time is planned against the season ahead rather than the day the water arrived.
