Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Port Charlotte, 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 holding the canal bank up?
A seawall, generally concrete panels or block with a cap on top, set in when the canals were dug. It holds the fill of the lot back from the water, and it is the only thing between the garden and a drop into the canal.
How does a failing wall show itself?
In the yard rather than at the wall. Fill washes out through the joints and through any crack, so the ground behind settles first: a dip near the water, a paver that has dropped, a pool deck with a hollow under one corner.
Why do so many fail at once?
Because they were all built at once. The whole grid of canals went in within a few years, so the walls are the same age, the same design and in the same condition, which means this arrives as a neighborhood problem rather than a single property's.
