Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Jackson, TN
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 plumbing in the middle of the floor?
Because the island needed it. A sink or a dishwasher away from the walls has to be fed and drained from below, so the runs come up through the slab at that point rather than along a perimeter. It is the only practical route, and it puts a connection under concrete in the middle of the room.
How is a failure there located?
By testing rather than by looking. Nothing about the run is visible, so the supply and the drainage are isolated and checked separately to establish which has gone and roughly where. Opening the floor comes after that, and it is opened at the point the test indicates.
What does opening the floor involve?
Cutting and lifting the slab around the island, excavating the wet fill beneath and then reinstating it, which is most of the work. The kitchen has to come apart to reach it, so the drying plan is written after the floor is open rather than before, once the extent under the slab is actually known.
