Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Aldine, TX
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
The yard flooded and water came in at the door. How far does it go?
Usually well past the room it entered. Water crosses a flat slab under the floor covering and keeps going until a door sill or a change in level stops it, so rooms with nothing visible are commonly wet underneath. The wet area is mapped with a meter before anything is lifted, and the covering and pad come out across all of it.
Is yard flooding treated differently from a pipe leak?
Yes, because of what is in the water. Water that has crossed ground is treated as contaminated, so porous material it touched is removed rather than dried: pad, the bottom of drywall, and pressed board. The slab is cleaned before drying starts, and the readings only begin to matter once the removal is complete.
How long does the slab take to dry after that?
Longer in June than at any other time of year. The heaviest rain and the building heat arrive together, so outdoor air offers no help and the dehumidifiers carry everything. The concrete is read daily at several points and the floor goes back when the numbers hold, which is commonly more than a week rather than a set rental period.
