Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in Round Rock, 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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
The tile looks fine. Does it have to come up?
Not always, but the slab under it still has to be read. Tile bonded to concrete survives water well, yet it also slows the slab from releasing moisture upward, so readings are taken at grout lines and at the floor edges. If the concrete will not come down to the dry standard with the tile in place, sections are lifted so it can.
How far does a floor-level loss spread in a slab house?
Further than the room it started in, usually. Water runs across a flat slab under carpet and pad until a door sill or a change in level stops it, so rooms with no visible water are commonly wet underfoot. The extent is mapped with a meter before anything is pulled, and the pad comes out across the whole wet area.
Do the kitchen cabinets have to come out?
The toe-kick area is opened at minimum. Cabinet boxes are usually pressed board and they wick water upward from the bottom edge, and the cavity behind the kick holds water where no air reaches it. If the boxes have swollen they are replaced; if they are sound, the kick is opened, the cavity dried and the run stays.
