Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Denton, 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
What is the ground like here?
A foot or two of sandy loam sitting on heavy clay. Water goes into the sand readily and then meets the clay and stops, so it collects at that boundary and runs along it rather than soaking on down the way it would in deeper sand.
Where does the perched water end up?
Against whatever interrupts the layer, which is usually a foundation. It arrives at shallow depth and from the side, so it reaches a slab edge or a footing rather than rising from below, and it can come from a good distance uphill.
Does the clay underneath still move?
It does, and that is what catches people out. The sand above it is stable and the clay below swells and shrinks, so a slab can be sitting on ground that looks and feels sound while the layer under it is working through a full seasonal cycle.
