Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Green Bay, 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.

An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
What is red clay and why does it matter?
It is the fine sediment left on the bed of a glacial lake, and it is about as impermeable as soil gets. Water does not travel through it in any useful sense, so anything that gets into the ground here stays more or less where it went in.
Why do gravel drainage trenches fail in it?
Because a trench full of stone only works if water can leave the bottom of it. Surrounded by clay, it becomes a container: it fills during the wet season and stays full, and the water in it sits against whatever it was meant to protect.
What actually drains a lot here?
A pipe to somewhere lower, not a soakaway of any kind. Every drainage solution here has to carry water away by gravity to an outlet, and where there is no outlet, a pump. Ground absorption is not available in any useful quantity.
