How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Caddo Gap

Painting over a stain does not remove the moisture behind it. Trapped water keeps feeding whatever starts in the dark. The crew dries the layers first so any new paint sits on dry board.

1. Release the trapped water

   If a ceiling is already failing, the crew takes the sagging section down in pieces. That removes the weight from overhead and gives the water a way out.

2. Map the moisture

   Readings start at the stain and move outward until they hit dry material. That border becomes the edge of the work area.

3. Open the wet layers

   Cuts are made in straight lines, a little beyond the wet edge. Clean edges make the later patch easier for the drywall finisher.

4. Dry and verify

   A technician returns each day to repeat the readings at the sketched spots. A reading that stops falling means water is still trapped somewhere.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Caddo Gap was built in the 1990s. Vaulted ceilings from this era trap water between the drywall and the roof deck. The water can sit unseen for a long time. A thermal camera picks out the cold patches.

Temperature swings make materials expand and contract. Sealant at flashing and vent boots wears out faster than it looks. After the dry-out, the owner chooses the contractor for the rebuild. The crew's log tells that contractor when the framing is ready.
