Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Mission, 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 are the old channels?
Former courses of the river, left behind when it shifted. Some are still open and hold water year-round; others were filled in when the land was developed. Either way the ground along them is quite different from the ground either side.
Why does water stand in them in a place this dry?
Because the bottom of an old channel is fine silt that water barely moves through. What collects there cannot soak away, and although the evaporation here is fierce, a channel deep enough to hold a few feet of water holds it for months.
How is a filled one identified?
From old aerial photography, which shows the channels plainly before the subdivisions went in. It is worth looking at, because a lot sitting over a filled channel behaves nothing like its neighbors and no amount of surface grading changes that.
