Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Salem, 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 gradually rather than after one storm?
Because the mechanism is cumulative. It is not a downpour overwhelming a drain, it is soil that has held water against a wall since November with no interval to release it. By February the ground is fully loaded, and a perfectly ordinary week of rain is enough to push water through.
Should crawlspace vents be open or closed in winter?
In this climate, generally closed. Outside air through the wet season is close to saturated, so venting brings in moisture rather than removing it. The convention assumes outside air is the drier of the two, which here is true for perhaps four months of the year.
Is moss on the roof cosmetic?
No, because it holds water against the covering. A moss colony keeps its patch of roof continuously damp through a season that already offers little drying, and it traps debris that blocks flow at valleys and gutters. It shortens the life of what it grows on.
