Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Pinecrest, 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 under the grass here?
A few inches of imported soil and then limestone. The rock is close enough to the surface that most planting here goes into holes broken into it, and the drainage of a property depends on how porous that particular piece of rock is.
Why does one lot drain and the next one not?
Because the rock is not uniform. Oolitic limestone has openings dissolved through it in some places and is very nearly solid in others, so two neighboring properties can behave completely differently with the same rainfall, the same grading and the same roof area.
What can regrading achieve with so little soil?
Less than usual, which is worth knowing before paying for it. There is no depth to cut into, so the useful work is generally building up a fall away from the house with imported material and creating somewhere for water to sit briefly before it soaks.
