Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Pharr, 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 does the expansion tank actually do?
It gives heated water somewhere to go. When a system has no way back to the main, water expanding as it heats has nowhere to expand to, and pressure rises every time the heater runs. The tank absorbs that with a diaphragm and a cushion of air behind it, and it does so several times a day for years.
What goes wrong with the tank itself?
The diaphragm splits or the tank rusts through at the seam, usually after ten or fifteen years. Once the diaphragm goes, the tank fills with water and stops working, so pressure starts rising in the system as well. The visible sign is a drip from the tank itself or a relief valve that has begun to weep.
Can the rest of the system be damaged before the tank leaks?
Yes, and that is the part people miss. A tank that has stopped absorbing lets pressure spike every heating cycle, which works on every connector, valve and seal in the house. Failures elsewhere in the plumbing months later frequently trace back to a tank that had quietly stopped doing its job.
