Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in West Covina, 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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
How does a patio cover damage the main roof?
Through where it is fixed. The cover hangs off the fascia board at the roof edge, screwed into it along its whole length, and it is pitched so gently that a heavy storm backs water up at that top edge. It sits against the fascia and soaks into the rafter ends.
Why does it only happen in a big storm?
Because the fall is just enough for ordinary rain. Light rain runs off and nothing happens, and a February downpour arrives faster than the cover can shed it, so water stands along the top edge for as long as the storm lasts and finds the screw holes.
Does the cover have to come off to repair the fascia?
Usually a length of it does, which surprises people. The rafter tails and fascia behind it cannot be replaced with the cover hanging on them, so a piece of work that looks like trim repair involves taking down and refitting part of the structure.
