Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Hazleton, 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
Why is the foundation cracking here?
Often because of what was taken out from underneath. The coal was mined beneath the town and the workings are still down there, and ground over a void settles unevenly. A foundation sitting across that is pulled apart rather than pushed.
Can the crack simply be sealed?
It can be sealed, and it will often open again. Sealing addresses the water and not the movement, so the honest answer is that a repair here has a life rather than a permanent result, and it is better to know that at the start.
Does the water make the settlement worse?
It can, which is the reason drainage is worth attending to even though it did not cause the problem. Keeping surface water off ground that is already unstable slows things down. It is the one part of this that a household can actually influence.
