Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Clinton, MS
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
Where does water get into a platform like this?
At the joint around the rim. The tub moves slightly every time it is filled and emptied and the tiled deck does not, so the seal between them works loose over the years rather than failing in one go. Water crosses that line a little at a time and goes into the framing below.
Why is nothing visible in the bathroom?
Because the platform is closed. Everything that gets past the rim is inside a framed box under the tile, so there is no surface for it to show on and no way to read it from the room. The first sign is usually in the ceiling below or a soft spot in the deck.
Does the platform have to come apart?
To reach the framing, yes. There is no access to the inside of a tiled platform without removing tile and usually the tub, which is why the scope on these is larger than the wet area suggests. The drying itself is short once the box is open.
