Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Doral, 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 do pavers end up directing water at the house?
Because they move with the bed underneath them. Pavers are not fixed to anything; they sit on sand over compacted fill, and water passing through the joints carries fine material away. The section nearest the house is on the deepest fill, so it settles first, and a surface laid to fall away ends up falling back.
What does that do at the slab edge?
It puts standing water against the edge of the floor. Once the pavers next to the house have dropped, every storm leaves water sitting along that line rather than running off it, and the slab edge is the least protected part of the building. The signs show up inside as damp at the base of a wall.
Can the pavers be relaid rather than replaced?
Almost always, and that is the advantage of them. The units come up, the bedding is regraded and compacted, and the same pavers go back to the correct fall. It is worth doing properly rather than adding sand to the low spots, because that only defers the same settlement for a season or two.
