Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Carrollton, 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
Why is water appearing at the fireplace?
Because the hearth is a separate piece of floor. It was poured as its own element within the slab rather than cast with it, and ground movement over the years has opened the joint between them, so there is a line running through the floor that water beneath can come up through.
Does that mean the slab has failed?
No, and the distinction matters for what gets repaired. The floor is doing what a floor on this ground does; what has happened is that two pours made at different times have separated, which is expected rather than a defect. The joint is a route, not a failure.
Where is the water coming from?
From under the slab, which is a separate question from the hearth. The joint is how it reaches the room; what put it there is usually a supply failure below the floor or ground water finding a way in. Locating that comes before anything is done about the joint.
