Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Town 'n' Country, 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
Why is the converted room always the wet one?
Because it is the low point. A garage slab is poured a few inches below the house floor for drainage, and turning it into a room does not change that. Anything that spreads across the house floor runs into it, and it is also the piece of concrete most likely to be sitting on bare ground.
The floor reads damp. Is that this loss or something older?
Often both, and it has to be separated. A slab poured with no sheet under it reads damp in a house that has never leaked, so the useful measurement is a comparison against untouched concrete elsewhere in the building on the same day. Without that comparison the number on its own says very little.
What happens to the covering that was laid in the conversion?
It usually comes up along the wet run. Whatever went down during a garage conversion was laid over concrete that is fed from below, so it is often failing already and it is certainly trapping this loss. Once the floor is open the slab is dried and read, and what goes back is chosen knowing it will keep receiving moisture.
