Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Hudson, 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
What is actually holding the water out at a window here?
The sealant round the frame, and very little else. The opening was formed in the block and the window set straight into it, so there is no buck, no surround and nothing behind the joint to catch what gets past. When that bead ages and opens, there is no second line.
Where does the water go once it is past?
Into the block itself. There is no cavity beside the opening to drain into, so it is absorbed by the masonry around the jamb and the sill and works its way down and inward through the wall. The inside shows it at the reveal and below the sill rather than at the point it entered.
Does resealing it deal with the problem?
It stops the source, which is necessary, but the wall still holds what it has taken. Block absorbs through its body and gives it back slowly from one face, so the masonry around the opening is read and dried after the joint is made good rather than assumed to be finished with it.
