Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Warner Robins, 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
Why is the floor soft when nothing has been spilled?
Because the leak has been under the covering. Sheet vinyl is effectively sealed and runs on under the units, so water from a failed connection spreads across the subfloor without ever reaching the surface. What you feel underfoot is the panel below giving way, and by then it has usually been wet for some time.
Does the covering have to come up?
Yes, and it does not come back. The sheet is what is sealing the subfloor, so nothing dries while it is down, and lifting it destroys it. It comes up across the wet run, which normally means the whole room, because the covering was laid as one piece and there is no sensible place to stop.
What about the part under the cabinets?
That is usually the worst of it and the last to be reached. The covering runs on underneath, so the subfloor there has been wet longest with the least air, and it cannot be read or dried until the units are lifted clear. Planning for that at the start avoids finding it halfway through.
