Ceiling & Roof Leak Water Damage Repair in San Angelo, 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 shower niche a common leak point?
Because it puts corners and a flat shelf into a surface that should be smooth and sloped. The waterproof layer has to be carried into the recess and around five interior corners, and each one is a place it can be missed. The shelf itself is often set level, so water stands on it rather than draining back.
Where does a niche leak end up?
Straight into the wall, because the recess is cut into the framing. There is no cavity behind a properly built niche, only the back of the wall beyond it, so a failure wets the studs and whatever is on the other side. That is frequently a bedroom wall or a closet.
Can one be repaired without redoing the shower?
Sometimes, if the failure is at the shelf and the rest of the wall is sound. The tile in the recess comes out, the waterproofing is remade properly with a fall on the shelf, and it is retiled. Where water has been getting past for a long time, the framing behind decides how far the work goes.
