Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Spartanburg, 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
The crawl space has standing water. Why has it not drained away?
Because there is nowhere for it to go. A crawl space with a poured floor and a solid perimeter is effectively a shallow concrete tray, so water that gets in stays in. That is better than soil in one respect, since it can be pumped out completely, and worse in another, since none of it disappears on its own.
What comes out from under there first?
The water, then anything lying in it. Ducting and insulation commonly sit on the crawl floor, so they are the first things to take it and the last to be looked at. Wet insulation is pulled, ducting is assessed by whoever maintains it, and only then is the space enclosed and dried.
Does a March loss run longer than a late-summer one?
It does. The heaviest rain of the year falls in March while the ground around the house is still carrying the winter, so a tray that copes in September fills in spring. The same loss in late summer is a much smaller job, and the difference is entirely about what the ground outside is doing.
