Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Titusville, 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 there water between the windows?
Because that space is colder than the room and the air in it still carries moisture from the house. Storm windows fitted outside the original sash leave a closed gap, and through a long heating season moisture works into it and condenses on the outer glass, then runs down to the sill.
Should the storms be taken off?
Not usually, because they are doing more good than harm, but the small openings in them matter. Most storm windows have weep holes at the bottom to let that space drain and breathe, and when those are painted over or blocked the gap becomes sealed. Clearing them changes it.
What is the damage usually?
The sill and the bottom of the frame, decayed over years rather than wet from an event. By the time anyone looks the timber is soft at the joints and the paint is holding the shape, so what looks like a small repair is often a sill replacement.
