Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Conyers, GA
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
The heater is in the garage. Why is the house being dried?
Because the garage floor and the house floor are one pour. There is no step and no barrier at the common wall, so water spreads under the bottom plate and into the pad on the other side. The garage itself is usually the easy part; the rooms behind that wall are where the pad comes out and the equipment goes.
How long does a carpeted slab take to dry after a tank failure?
About a week once the pad is out, a fortnight if it was left down. A tank holds forty or fifty gallons and puts all of it on the floor at once, so the concrete takes up water across a wide area. The readings fall quickly for three days and then slow, and it is the slow part that sets the finish date.
What gets done first when the water is found hours after it started?
Stop the supply, get the standing water off, then lift the covering. Extraction through carpet removes only a fraction of what is in the pad, so the pad comes out early rather than late. Base and door casings come off next so the wall bottoms can be read, and equipment is set once the scope of the wet area is actually known.
