Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Gillette, WY
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.

- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
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
Why can nothing be assumed from the house next door?
Because a great deal of this housing went up very fast, and speed produces variation. Framing details, insulation coverage and pipe routing differ between houses built in the same month on the same street. It means probe readings and a small opening early, rather than working from what was found in a similar building.
A line froze in an inside wall. Is that normal?
It happens here more than it should, and it usually points at a gap. A supply line in an interior wall should not reach freezing, so when one does there is generally a missing or displaced piece of insulation in the exterior wall nearby, or a route through an unheated space. That gets found while the wall is open.
What does six months of freezing weather mean for the schedule?
That the building has to be warmed before drying achieves much, for half the year. Cold framing and cold concrete will not release whatever equipment is running, so heat comes first and the run is longer for it. Once the space is warm, the very dry air here brings the readings down quickly.
