Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Pontiac, MI
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
Troy shares this gauge. Why would a Pontiac basement fail differently?
Troy sits on upland till with no outlet. This city sits in the Clinton bowl that till drains into. Same May total, opposite geometry: Troy perches, Pontiac collects. Writing both as flat Oakland clay erases the millponds, the combined sewers, and the valley floor that actually wet these cellars.
The river dropped. Why is the cellar still wet?
The millponds and the combined sewers do not drop as fast as the gauge. Water from the surrounding till is still arriving, and a cellar drain on the valley floor is the overflow. A falling Clinton is not a dry basement if the streets are still emptying into the same pipes.
Is a 1961 house on the valley floor built to drain?
Rarely. That era poured basement walls and trusted a floor drain to the combined sewer. When May rain surcharges those pipes, the drain reverses. The fix is a backflow path and drainage toward the river, not a coating on the inside of a wall that is already below the street.
