Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Land O' Lakes, 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 the purple pipe for?
Irrigation, using treated wastewater rather than drinking water. It is colored purple by convention so nobody confuses the two, and it runs to the sprinkler system on a separate meter. On these subdivisions every lot has both systems in the ground.
Does a leak from it need different handling?
It does. The water is treated and safe for irrigation but it is not potable, so material soaked by it is not treated as clean water the way a supply leak would be. That affects what can be dried in place and what has to come out.
How is it told from an ordinary leak?
By where it is and when it runs. A reclaimed line only has pressure during the irrigation window, so a leak that appears on a schedule rather than continuously points at that system, and the pipe itself is marked once anything is dug up.
