A water damaged drywall repair is only successful when the repair is secure, smooth and not noticeable. That requires more than filling the damaged area with joint compound.
MrWalls inspects the water damage, removes wet or damaged material, installs proper backing when needed, reinforcing the seams of the repair in several controlled steps.
Every water damage repair is different, but most projects follow these four basic steps.
We identify wet drywall, moisture damage, failed joints, movement and other visible drywall problems.
Floors and nearby surfaces are protected before damaged material is removed and the repair area is prepared.
New drywall is installed, tape and finishing compound are applied as needed to rebuild the ceiling surface.
The repair is sanded, checked, primed and painted for a clean, consistent finished appearance.
Contact a wet drywall repair contractor when you notice brown spots and wet drywall. After the leak is fixed contact Mrwalls to fix the drywall.
Water stains can indicate a roof, plumbing or bathroom leak above the ceiling. Repair the leak before closing the ceiling.
Recurring cracks may require loose material removal, reinforcement and a wider finishing area.
Sagging can be caused by moisture, improper fastening, excess weight or weakened ceiling material.
Plaster that sounds hollow, moves when pressed or drops debris may need stabilization or partial replacement.
Peeling tape and bubbling paint can result from poor bonding, moisture or previous repair work.
Openings left by plumbing, electrical work, lights, vents or removed fixtures can usually be patched and finished.
