Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Pensacola, 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.

Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.

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 is a jalousie window?
A stack of narrow glass slats in a metal frame that crank open and closed together. They were fitted everywhere along this coast because they let air through while keeping the sun off, and they close by each pane resting on the one below rather than sealing into anything.
Why does rain get through a closed one?
Because closed is not the same as sealed. The slats overlap but nothing presses them together, so rain driven at the window in a summer storm goes straight between them. In still rain they shed perfectly well, which is why the problem seems to come and go.
Can they be made weathertight?
Not really, and that is worth saying plainly. There is no gasket to renew and no adjustment that closes the gaps. Where a wall keeps getting wet under a jalousie unit, replacing the window is the repair, and everything else is postponing it.
