Water-damaged drywall rarely just needs a coat of paint. Once gypsum has been soaked it can sag, crumble or hold moisture, so the affected section has to come out.
What we repair
- Ceiling stains and sagging after a roof or plumbing leak
- Walls behind sinks, tubs and toilets
- Basement walls after minor flooding
- Ceilings opened up by a plumber to find a leak
Fix the leak first
Before we start, the source of the water should be repaired and the area dry. We cut the damaged board back to sound material, replace it, tape and finish it, then match the ceiling or wall texture so the repair blends in.
