Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Kissimmee, 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 muck soil?
Decayed plant material that built up while the land was wet, sitting as a layer over the sand beneath. It holds a great deal of water and very little structure, so when it is drained for building it compresses and continues to lose volume for years afterward.
Why does a dry spell cause movement?
Because drying is what shrinks it. Wet muck holds its bulk; muck that dries out collapses in on itself. So the settlement here arrives after a run of dry weather or after the drainage around a development is improved, which is the opposite of what people expect.
What usually breaks first?
The pipes, almost always before anything structural. Supply and drainage lines run through the moving layer into a building on footings, so they take the difference at the point of entry. A slab leak on ground like this is frequently the first sign the ground has moved.
