Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Bountiful, UT
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 is the basement wet when it has hardly rained?
Because the water is coming from the mountains rather than the sky above the house. Snow that falls on the range above melts in the spring and moves down through the ground the town sits on, so the soil around a foundation fills from upslope regardless of what has fallen on the property.
How long does the snowmelt season go on for?
Weeks rather than hours, which is what makes it different from a storm. The melt is a season rather than an event, so the ground stays charged for an extended stretch and a basement is under continuous load through it. Drying during that period is working against a supply.
Does the annual rainfall figure mean anything here?
Less than it would elsewhere. Under twenty-eight inches a year sounds undemanding and it describes what falls on the town, not what arrives through the ground from above it. A building here deals with considerably more water than the figure suggests, and it arrives on a schedule.
