Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Butler, WI
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 side yard always the wet one?
Because two houses drain into it. The lots here are narrow and the buildings sit close, so a strip of ground a few feet wide takes the runoff from one roof plane on each side. It receives far more water per square yard than the front or the back.
Is there room to fix the grading?
Rarely as much as one would like. With buildings that close, there is not the width to build a proper fall away from both walls, so the work is usually about catching the water in a channel and piping it out to the front or the back instead.
Does the neighboring house need to be involved?
Often, and it goes better when that conversation happens first. Half of what lands in that strip comes off their roof, so a downspout extension on their side can be worth more than anything done on this one. It is a shared strip and a shared result.
