Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Missoula, MT
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
Seventeen inches of precipitation. Where does basement water come from?
Mostly from the mountains rather than the sky above the house. Snowpack at elevation releases over several weeks and raises the valley water table, so a basement can take water in a month with almost no local rainfall. Reading a rain gauge will not explain the timing.
What is an inversion and does it matter indoors?
Cold air settling into the valley and staying there under a warmer layer above. It matters because it removes the drying capacity a normal winter day would provide: air movement is minimal and humidity in the valley stays elevated, so anything damp stays damp for much longer than the temperature alone suggests.
Does lake-bed soil behave differently from ordinary valley fill?
Yes, because it is exceptionally fine. Silts and clays deposited in still water drain slowly and hold moisture well, so water reaching a foundation through them lingers. It also means test results from one part of the valley transfer poorly to another, since the deposits vary in thickness.
