Ceiling Water Damage Repair, Wall and Ceiling Painting in Clarence Center NY

 

Kitchen Ceiling Repair in Clarence NY

This damage was the result of the wax seal on the master bathroom toilet drying out after 50 years and causing a leak. Plumbers replaced the wax ring, and opened this hole in the ceiling. They referred the homeowner to us for making the necessary repairs to the wall, ceiling, and the painting afterward.

Upon initial inspection of the damage it didn't look too bad. However once we go into it we realized about 3/4 of the wallboard had to be replaced due to the water damage. We also replaced the insulation in the wall with new. Once insulation gets wet, its generally ruined and should be replaced.

Once the needed repairs were completed, we primed the area, and then painted the walls and ceiling to match the existing color scheme.

Ceiling dripping? - Here is how to Limit Expensive Damage

First: Don't panic! The most important thing you can do is gain control over the situation. That starts by poking a hole in the ceiling and letting the water out. Make sure you have a bucket, a trash can. The goal here is control where the water goes. You may not be able to stop the flow, but if you can control where that flow goes, you can minimize the damage. Let the Water Out! A screw driver works well, or in the case above- a tree branch! The ceiling is completely saturated, so creating a hole is easy. A small hole, is cheaper and easier to fix, than a big hole. Often times with water-damage, the drywall panel will warp necessitating replacement of a larger area, but you don't want to get into the level of demo right now. Small hole is all that is needed, or a bunch of small holes. I have personally removed over 6 gallons of water from a dripping ceiling by poking holes in it. This is something you can do yourself. If you don't have a ladder and can't reach the ceil

Water Damage Plaster Ceiling Repair This home in Snyder, NY had a water leak around their fireplace chimney. This is actually quite common, the masonry of the chimney, reacts to temperature changes differently than the surrounding structure.  This has been an on going leak spanning many years.  We removed the water damaged plaster and drywall compound (from a previous repair) as well as chipped off the pealing paint. 60 years of paint, often will lose adhesion to the glass like finish of the plaster. So while a ceiling or wall may appear to be intact, after suffering water damage, chip the paint and it may all peal off with a sharp putty knife. You often can't tell by just looking at it. Using Drywall to Repair Plaster Since this area was previously repaired using drywall compound, we used drywall compound to fix it.  Sometimes you can get away with using plaster to repair these previously repaired areas, however due to the paint issues (pealing) we opted to use compound instead.

Bathroom Water Damage Repair & Painting These homeowners had a plumbing leak from the 2nd floor bathroom, into the fist floor bathroom ceiling. The plumbing issue was repaired, and mold mitigation completed prior to our arrival. We hung mold resistant drywall, and then floated out the patch to match the existing ceiling surface. Then we primed and painted the ceiling and walls. Total time to completion: 12hrs over 3 days - largely due to dry time. The white substance on the wood framing is an encapsulating agent by the mold mitigation company. We offer NO mitigation services. Moisture resistant drywall is always used in a bathroom Finished:
