It was 9 PM when a Siesta Key property owner called after discovering water coming through the ceiling.
The AC system above the area had failed, and what looked like staining and cracking at the surface extended into the surrounding ceiling and wall materials.
Chris responded that night to evaluate the damage. Acme removed the affected materials, exposed the areas holding moisture and set drying equipment before the ceiling could be reconstructed.
This is why ceiling leaks shouldn’t be judged only by the size of the visible stain. Water can travel much farther behind drywall than it appears from inside the room.
Once our mitigation and drying work was finished, the owner selected a separate contractor to complete the ceiling reconstruction.
Own a seasonal property—or checking on a home that has been sitting empty? Take a minute to look at the ceilings, around AC vents and beneath the indoor AC unit. A quick check can catch a problem before it becomes a much larger one.
