Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Baytown, 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
How is a failure under the slab confirmed?
By testing the drainage rather than by opening the floor. The system is isolated and checked to see whether it holds, which locates the section that has gone without cutting concrete first. Only then is the floor opened, and it is opened at the point the test identified rather than where the damp appeared.
Does it matter that this is drain water and not supply?
It changes what can be saved. Water from a waste line reaching flooring, board or insulation means those come out on what the water was rather than on a reading, and the fill under the slab is dealt with as part of the repair. A clean supply failure in the same position would be a much shorter job.
What is involved in opening a slab here?
Cutting and lifting a section of the floor over the failed run, excavating the wet fill beneath it, repairing and then reinstating the pour. It is the longest part of the work by a distance, and the drying plan is written after it, because until the ground under the floor is dealt with there is nothing stable to dry to.
