Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in College Station, 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.

An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the water heater in the attic?
Because there is nowhere else in these plans. With no basement and a garage given over to other things, the tank went up on a platform in the attic, which is common through this part of Texas. It puts fifty gallons directly over the ceiling of a room.
What is the pan underneath meant to do?
Catch a slow leak and carry it outside through a small pipe. It works when the pipe is clear and the leak is slow. It does nothing at all for a tank that lets go, and a pan line that has been blocked for years simply fills and overflows.
How much of the ceiling comes down?
More than the wet patch suggests. Water spreads across the top of the ceiling before it comes through, and the insulation above holds it, so the area that has to be opened is generally the whole of the affected room rather than the stained part.
