Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Sioux Falls, SD
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 is the channel around the city?
A diversion, dug to carry the river past the built-up area rather than through the middle of it. Most of the flow now goes around the city, and the original course through the center is left with a modest amount running down it.
Does that make the old channel safe?
It makes it quiet, which is not the same. The old course is still a river channel and it still takes water when the diversion is at capacity, so the properties along it are protected by a structure upstream rather than by their position.
Does the old course matter below ground?
It does, and it gets overlooked. The gravels of the original channel are still there and still permeable, so ground water follows that line regardless of how much is running on the surface, and basements along it stay wetter than their neighbors.
