Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Phoenix, 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
The ceiling is wet in the middle of the room. Is the roof damaged there?
Probably not. Water under a flat coating spreads across the deck as a thin sheet and drops in wherever there is a hole in the ceiling plane, which is usually a light, a vent or a fixture. The wet spot marks a penetration, not a breach, and finding the actual failure means looking at the whole deck.
Why is the roof structure dried separately from the rooms?
Because it has a sealed top face. A coated deck cannot release upward, so all of its moisture has to come down through the ceiling. The rooms below finish in a day or two in this climate, and the deck takes a week or more. Readings are taken in the structure through openings rather than from the room.
What happens between drying and the roof being recoated?
The deck has to hold steady readings first. Coating over a deck that is still carrying water seals the moisture in permanently and the ceiling below it will come back within a season. Openings stay in place, air keeps moving through the structure, and the roofing work is scheduled on the readings rather than on the calendar.
