Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Flower Mound, 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 a tub under a window a difficulty?
Because two quite different failures produce the same damage. Water splashing onto a sill and past a failed seal looks the same from inside as rain getting in around the window, and both end in the framing under the tub deck. Working out which one is happening decides whether the repair is a bathroom job or a wall job.
What is under the tub deck?
An enclosed box, usually with no access at all. The deck is framed and tiled around the tub, and the space beneath it holds the trap, the overflow and the supply. Anything leaking there runs inside that box until it reaches the subfloor, and none of it can be seen without cutting the surround open.
Is there a way to check it without breaking tile?
The ceiling below tells you most of it, where there is one. Otherwise, filling the tub and watching the ceiling or the wall beneath over an hour separates an overflow or waste failure from a surface problem. It is worth doing before anybody starts cutting, because the two need different work.
