Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Eau Claire, 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 are the downspouts taken off at all?
To save them. A fixed downspout fills with ice in a winter this long, and ice expanding in a closed length splits the seam and tears the brackets out of the siding. Taking the lower section off each autumn is a genuinely sensible local habit.
What goes wrong with it?
Nobody puts them back. The habit is autumn work and the reverse is spring work that never gets scheduled, so by June the gutters are collecting a heavy summer month and discharging it straight down at the foundation from an open stub.
What is the better arrangement?
Hinged or removable extensions that clip on and off in a minute, which takes the effort out of putting them back. Failing that, the useful move is simply to make it a spring job with a date on it rather than something that happens when somebody notices.
