Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Layton, 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 are there two water lines to the house?
One is treated and one is not. The house supply is drinking water and the second line is untreated water for outdoor use, which is how a great deal of watering is done here. They are brought into the property together and the second is only charged for part of the year.
When do failures in it show up?
In spring, when it is charged. Anything that split over the winter is a dry pipe until the season starts, so the failure is discovered by the system being turned on rather than by anything happening at the time. It then runs into ground that is already full.
Does it matter that the water is untreated?
It does for what gets handled how. It is not drain water, but it is not drinking water either, so ground and materials it reaches are treated with more caution than a clean supply failure would call for. That is established before anything is dried.
