Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Clearfield, 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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope

Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
Why does storage in the attic matter after a loss?
Because of what it is sitting on. Roof trusses are designed so the bottom chord holds a ceiling and nothing else, and a boarded floor with belongings on it is a load they were never sized for. A ceiling that is also holding water is carrying two.
What has to happen before the ceiling can be dried?
The contents and the boards come out, which is most of the first day. Nothing above the ceiling can be read or reached through a floor with belongings on it, and the wet insulation is underneath all of that. It is slower than a clear attic by a long way.
Does the storage floor go back?
That is worth a conversation rather than an assumption. It was not part of the design, and if the ceiling has deflected at all the loading is the reason. Where it does go back, keeping it to the area over a bearing wall is the sensible compromise.
