Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Clermont, 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
Why is the back of the house the wet side?
Because the lot falls that way. These are built across sand hills rather than on level ground, so the ground drops several feet from the street to the rear and the back of the building sits at the low point of the property, taking everything that comes down the slope.
Does sandy ground not drain that away?
At the surface, yes, and that is what misleads. Water soaks in quickly rather than running across the yard, and then travels down the slope underground until something stops it, which is the back wall of the house. Nothing about the surface suggests it is happening.
What is looked at outside?
The slope above the house rather than the wall itself. Where the water is arriving from is uphill, so the grading, the paving and anything that concentrates flow up there decide what reaches the building. The rear wall is the symptom rather than the place to start.
