Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Farmington, NM
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.

Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
There was no water anywhere. How was this found?
Usually by a meter or a bill rather than by sight. Soil this dry takes a subslab loss straight in, so nothing pools and nothing surfaces. What shows up is a floor that reads damp in one area, a warm patch, or consumption that does not match the household, and the extent is mapped with readings from there.
The leak is fixed. Why is the floor still damp?
Because the ground under it is now wet and it is giving that back. Dry soil takes up a great deal and releases it slowly into the concrete above, so the slab has a supply that continues well past the repair. The readings fall quickly for a few days and then crawl, and the crawl is the schedule.
How long before covering can go back down?
Weeks rather than days, and it is decided by a moisture test of the concrete rather than the calendar. The floor is read at several points on consecutive days until the numbers stop moving. Laying over a slab that is still being fed from below is how this job repeats itself within a year.
