Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Visalia, 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
Why does the carpet read dry at the wall?
Because that is where the air reaches it. A wet pad gives up moisture at its exposed edges first, and in air this dry that happens quickly, so the perimeter can be genuinely dry while the middle of the same pad is still saturated. The wall is the least useful place to measure.
Where should the readings be taken?
In from the edge, across the area, and through the carpet into the pad rather than on the surface. A grid of readings across the floor shows the shape of what is wet, which a perimeter check never will. It takes a few minutes longer and it changes the scope.
Does the pad come up?
Usually, because the middle of it is the part that will not dry in place. Carpet can often be saved and re-laid; the pad underneath is what holds the water and what the dry air cannot reach, so it comes out even where the covering above it does not.
