Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Temecula, 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
How much water comes out of one of these?
A great deal, and it does not stop on its own. The line is held at mains pressure, so once a head or a fitting opens it discharges continuously until the supply is shut, which is often several minutes after anyone notices. The volume rather than the leak is what sets the size of the job.
Where does that volume end up?
Spread out rather than pooled. Water arriving fast on a finished floor runs to the edges of the room, down any opening in the floor structure and along the framing, so it is in several rooms and often on two levels before it is stopped. The extent is mapped along the structure, not from the room it started in.
Does the dry climate shorten the drying?
It helps once the assemblies are open, because the outdoor air here is dry for most of the year and an exposed cavity gives its moisture up quickly. It does nothing about the first part of the job, which is opening enough of the building to find where all of that water went.
