Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Caledonia, 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
What does a woodpile do to the wall behind it?
Keeps it wet. The stack holds rain and then snow against the siding and shades it from any sun or wind that would dry it, so that stretch of wall stays damp continuously from autumn until the pile comes down in spring.
Why does it matter more here than the rain does?
Because of the duration. Thirty-two inches of rain is not a great deal, and a wall sheds it in hours. A woodpile turns intermittent wetting into six months of constant contact, and that is what actually rots siding and sheathing.
Where should the wood go instead?
Anywhere with a gap behind it. A few inches of clear air between the stack and the wall changes the outcome entirely, and standing it off on rails away from the building is better still. It costs nothing and it is rarely done.
