Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Concord, CA
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
What is different about the projecting section?
It is outside the house in every way that matters. The joists run out past the wall, the space between them is insulated and closed underneath with a soffit, and neither face of that assembly is in a heated room. A loss in the floor above it behaves nothing like a loss over an interior wall.
Why is it slow to dry?
Because there is no air on either side. The floor above is finished, the underside is boarded, and the cavity holds insulation. Where water reaches it, the only way to dry it is to open one face, and that means working outside from a ladder or taking up the floor in the room above.
How far does the wet area reach into the projection?
By metering from above and from outside, and frequently by opening a small section of the soffit. Water in the floor structure runs out into the projection and collects at the outer edge, which is the point furthest from where anybody would look. That edge is where the reading matters.
