Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Conway, 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
What makes a blackwater river different?
Where it comes from. It drains a huge flat swamp rather than a steep catchment, so the water arrives slowly, stained dark by vegetation, and the river takes days to reach its peak instead of hours. The color is tannin from the swamp vegetation rather than any kind of sediment load.
Why does the flooding last so long?
Because there is almost no fall to drain it away. A river with very little gradient carrying water off flat swamp cannot shed it quickly, so a crest here can sit for a fortnight and the ground stays saturated long after that.
What does a long crest mean for drying out?
That it cannot start when the rain stops. The ground stays full and the river stays up for weeks, so a building dried too early takes up again, and the honest schedule is set by the river rather than by a meter reading.
