Today we started this project by Harris Hill and Main St. They suffered a water leak due to an ice dam. The homeowner began seeing water dripping from the ceiling, poked a bunch of holes in the ceiling and let the water out. This prevented the damage from being much more severe. The kitchen ceiling had undergone extensive work about 15 years ago, where they used a lot of drywall compound to get the ceiling flat.
However once water began leaking in and dripping off the ceiling, the drywall compound, corroded under the latex ceiling paint and created some very ugly looking damage. Thankfully it was largely superficial.
Patching
After the water damaged drywall compound was removed, and we were back to sound substrate, we patched the areas using durabond drywall compound.
Tomorrow we will sand the patches, then prime and paint.
More to come!
