Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Roswell, 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.

Frequently asked questions
How can the ground be wet where it never rains?
Because the water is not coming from the sky. There is groundwater in this basin standing close to the surface, so the soil beneath a slab can be permanently damp in a place that sees thirteen inches a year. The rainfall figure describes the weather, not the ground.
What does that mean for readings on the floor?
That a dry figure taken from general guidance is the wrong target. The slab has been in contact with damp ground since it was poured and has never read dry, so an unaffected part of the same floor is measured to establish what normal looks like and the affected area is brought back to that.
Could the flooring have failed on its own?
It happens here often enough to check first. A covering bonded to a slab that is drawing from wet ground will lift or discolor without any loss at all, so establishing whether there was ever a source is part of the first visit. The answer changes the work entirely.
