The ceiling came down from the weight of the wet sheetrock and insulation.

Heavy rains are part of life in Bellingham, Washington. We are lucky to have excellent roofs and roofers, but sometimes materials fail.

We were recently called to help a customer that had the ceiling in the kitchen hanging from the rafters and sitting on the counters. The first step in dealing with water damage is to make assessment of the situation and game plan to getting the drying process moving in the right direction. This particular home had a unique problem. Most of the demolition that typically takes place had already been done by the water weight of the rain.

The material was removed the drying took place. Our crew left the job with a load of wet sheet rock, carpet and insulation. plus a happy customer with an amazing story to tell.
