Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Crockett, 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 does the propane line matter to a water problem?
Because of the trench it sits in. The line runs from the tank in the yard to the house in a trench that was dug and backfilled, and that backfill is looser than the ground around it, so surface water finds it and follows it to the foundation.
How is it different from a water line trench?
In who may dig it. The gas line belongs to the supplier or is at least their concern, so excavating along it is not something to do with a shovel on a Saturday. It has to be located and marked before any drainage work goes near it.
Does the tank itself cause anything?
Occasionally, and it is worth a look. A tank on a settled or tilted pad puts strain on the connection at its base, and the pad itself is often the lowest firm thing in that part of the yard, so water collects around it and stays.
