Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Kapolei, HI
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 does a loss in a house this new usually turn out to be?
Something inside the building: a supply connection, an appliance line, a water heater or a drain. The envelope on a house built in the last twenty years rarely lets water in, and the annual rainfall out here is low. That narrows the search considerably and means the source is normally found within the first hour.
Can the outside air be used to help the drying?
Often yes, which is not true everywhere on the island. This is the dry leeward side, and for much of the year the air outside is warm and carries less moisture than the inside of a building being dried. Where it does, ventilation is used alongside the equipment and the run is shorter for it.
Why is a room at the far end of the house being read?
Because the house is tight and ducted. A loss raises the humidity of the whole conditioned volume and the cooling system distributes it, so cool surfaces in distant rooms pick it up. Those rooms are checked with a meter as a matter of course, which is cheaper and quicker than being called back to them.
