Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Aiken, SC
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 are the streets not paved?
It is deliberate and it is part of how the town works, keeping the sand tracks for riding. It also means that a street here absorbs a good deal of rain rather than shedding it all, which is an advantage right up to the point where a storm is heavy.
What does a heavy storm do to them?
Cuts them. Water running down a sand street carries the sand with it, so ruts and channels form quickly and the road profile changes, and the material ends up in the yards and drainage at the bottom of the run rather than staying on the street.
How does that affect a property over time?
It changes the levels it was built to. A lot graded to drain toward the street when the house went up may find the street has risen or the verge has washed away, so drainage that worked for thirty years stops working without anything on the property changing.
