Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Hollandale, 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 it mean that the glaciers missed here?
That the landscape was never flattened or filled. The rest of the state was smoothed by ice and left with deep till; this corner kept its old valleys, so the ground is steep, the soil is thin and the bedrock is close underneath.
How does water move in ground like this?
Through the rock as much as through the soil. The bedrock is fractured, so water entering the ground travels along joints and bedding planes, and it can emerge as a spring on a hillside a long way from where it went in.
Does that change what drainage can achieve?
It changes where to put it. Intercepting surface water still works, but a good deal of what reaches a building here arrived through the rock rather than over the ground, and no amount of regrading affects that. Knowing which one you have matters first.
