Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Lacey, WA
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 does water vanish into this ground?
Because the surface layer is clean glacial gravel, which takes water as fast as it arrives. That is why the prairies here drain so well, and it is why an outdoor leak can run for months without a wet patch ever appearing.
Where does the water stop going down?
At the hardpan, a dense layer of compacted till a few feet down that water barely moves through. Everything that went straight down collects on top of that and then travels sideways along it, which is how it reaches a foundation.
What does that mean in a wet November?
That the profile fills. Nine inches in a month is more than the layer above the hardpan can hold, so the perched water rises toward the surface and the ground that drained beautifully in August is saturated to within a foot of the top.
