Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Hillsboro, OR
Water-stained, sagging ceilings are dried, treated, and restored after roof leaks, plumbing failures, and upstairs overflows. A ceiling stain is the visible end of a leak that started somewhere above it, whether a roof detail, a supply line, or a failed seal. The work is tracing that source, drying the cavity above the ceiling, and repairing only once the leak itself has been corrected.

Frequently asked questions
Why do problems here build slowly rather than after one storm?
Because the loading is cumulative. Soil has held water against the wall since November with no interval to release it, so by February the ground is fully saturated. An unremarkable week of rain then pushes water through, and it appears sudden without being sudden.
The land was farmed. Does that leave anything behind?
Usually a tile system. Farmland here was drained with buried tile for a century, and subdivisions built over it inherit whatever survives. Some of it still functions, some was severed during construction, and almost none of it appears on any drawing a homeowner can consult.
Should crawlspace vents be open through winter?
Generally not in this climate. Outside air through the wet season is close to saturated, so venting adds moisture rather than removing it. The convention assumes outside air is the drier of the two, which here holds true for only a few months a year.
