Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Delray Beach, 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.
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
What changes when impact windows go in?
The opening as much as the glass. The new units are heavier and thicker than what they replace, so they sit differently in the wall, and the way water that gets into the opening finds its way back out depends entirely on how that perimeter was detailed.
Where does the water actually get in?
At the perimeter rather than through the unit. The glazing itself is sound; what leaks is the joint between the new frame and the old opening, particularly at the bottom corners, where sealant is doing the work a flashing should do.
Is there a way to check the installation?
Looking at the sill from outside tells you a good deal. A unit fitted with a proper sill pan and an end dam will show a drainage path; one bedded in sealant alone will not. It is worth knowing before a wall is opened up.
