Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Bartlett, TN
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
Can a pipe that is not leaking really cause damage?
It can, given a long enough summer. Water arriving at around sixty degrees keeps the pipe below the point at which the surrounding air gives up its moisture, so the line runs wet on the outside whenever the humidity is high. Over months that puts a steady drip onto whatever is beneath it.
How do I tell condensation from a leak?
By where the water is and when. Condensation wets the whole length of a pipe rather than one spot, is worst in the most humid weather, and stops in winter. A leak produces water at a joint or a pinhole, runs whether the air is humid or not, and does not improve with the season.
What keeps a cold line from doing this?
Insulating the cold lines, particularly where they pass through unconditioned or closed spaces. The sleeve keeps the humid air off the pipe surface, which is the whole mechanism. It is inexpensive and worth doing along the full run rather than at the one place where the damage appeared.
