Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Renton, 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
How does a channel drain stop working?
By filling from the bottom. Grit, fir needles and moss wash down the drive into the channel and settle, and because the water still drains slowly nobody notices. Over a few wet seasons the channel is full to the grate, and then the first heavy storm finds nothing there to catch anything.
How is a channel drain checked?
Lift a section of the grate and look, which takes a minute. The channel should be empty below the grating with a visible fall toward the outlet. If it is packed with silt, or if water stands in it when nothing is running, it needs clearing and the outlet pipe needs checking as well.
What happens to the garage when it fails?
It takes the whole drive's runoff. A paved slope running from the street to a door is a collector, and the drain is the only thing between it and the building. When the channel is full, the water arrives at the door at the same rate it comes down the drive, which in November is considerable.
