Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Essex Junction, VT
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
The river jumped overnight with no storm. Ice?
Often. The Winooski jams where the channel narrows or a bend holds ice, and the water upstream of that dam has nowhere to go. It is a winter and early-spring hazard that does not wait for a rainfall total, and it drops as fast as it rose when the jam lets go.
The clay is always damp. Is a basement a bad idea here?
It is a common one, and it has to be managed. Champlain clay does not drain, so a basement is a hole in a wet material. Exterior water control and interior humidity control are the job; waiting for the clay to dry is waiting for a property it does not have.
Cracks in February, damp in July. Is that the same wall failing twice?
Same clay, two seasons, one cycle. Frost heaves it in winter and opens the crack; June's perched water then uses that crack in summer. A bead of sealant in March does not change either half of that cycle, and the wall will report it again the next year.
