Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Avondale, AZ
The leak is traced above the stain and corrected, wet insulation comes out, the cavity is dried to a reading, and only then is the ceiling repaired. The leak is traced uphill from the stain and corrected before anything else. Soaked insulation comes out of the cavity, the framing and the back of the ceiling are dried and read to the dry standard, and only then is the ceiling repaired and painted, so the stain does not return through new paint.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the ground so flat here?
It was made that way on purpose. These fields were flood irrigated, which means water was run across them and had to stand evenly, so the land was graded precisely level. The subdivisions were then built on top of that without changing it.
What happens in a real storm?
The water stays. There is no gradient for it to follow, so an inch of rain in an hour spreads out and sits where it fell until it soaks in or evaporates, and around a house that means it sits against the slab rather than running past it.
What is worth doing to a lot like this?
Building fall where there is none, in the first few feet around the building, and giving the water a defined low point to go to that is not the house. On flat ground that is the whole of the drainage strategy, and it is usually absent.
