Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Buenaventura Lakes, FL
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 tile looks perfect. How is the roof leaking?
Because the tile was never the waterproof layer. It sheds most of what lands on it and protects what is underneath, but the membrane on the deck below is what actually keeps water out, and that ages in heat and sunlight where nobody sees it. A roof can look new and be finished underneath.
Why is the wet spot downhill from the damage?
Because the water travels on the membrane before it finds a way through. Anything getting past the tile lands on the underlayment and runs down the slope on it until it reaches a fixing hole or a tear, so the point it enters the building is often several feet below where it got in.
Does the tile have to come off to deal with this?
Along the affected run, yes, because there is no other way to reach the layer that failed. The tile is lifted and set aside, the membrane is dealt with, and the tile goes back, which is slower than it sounds but does not usually mean replacing the roof covering itself.
