Ceiling Leak Water Damage in Bellmawr, NJ
A ceiling stain means water is trapped above the surface, so the crew traces the moisture, opens wet drywall and dries the cavity before the ceiling sags or the damage spreads.
☎ Call (888) 471-9821Check the stained ceiling
A ceiling leak hides most of its water above the surface. A brown stain or a bubble in the paint is only the part that reached the visible side, while insulation, joists and the back of the drywall may be soaked. Finding where the moisture actually goes is the first job, because drying the wrong spot leaves the problem behind.
