Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Manitowoc, WI
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 looks calm. Why is the cellar still damp?
The lake sets the water table, not the current you can see. When Michigan is up, the ship canal and the river mouth sit high, and a basement on that terrace is in the same pool. A calm surface is not a low table. Closing the vents in June then traps what the ground is already adding.
Is the ice harbor the reason the old mill blocks stay wet?
Partly. Digging the harbor and canal put fill where marsh and riverbank used to take the rise. Houses on that fill see the lake through the ground, not over a bank. The mill stock was built to the water that powered it; the harbor just locked that water in place.
Does a June peak matter more here than a winter thaw?
Yes, because June is when the lake is already high from snowmelt up the basin. Rain on a high Michigan does not have a fallback. Winter ice can wet a wall; June rain on a full harbor fills a floor.
