Water Damage Drywall Repair
If it is drywall, depending on the size of the leak, it will bow downward and crack. As the damage worsens the drywall paper, paint and tape will begin to peal away. If the leak is not repaired, the area will eventually collapse. Our water damage ceiling repair experts have decades of experience repairing this type of damage in all types of homes all over WNY!
Fun-Fact: The brown water stain is due to moisture disturbing the dust on your ceilings.
When we do this type of work, we set up dust containment boxes to help contain the dust and dirt associated with the repair.
Water Damage Plaster Repair
When it comes to plaster however, water damage can be very deceiving to the untrained eye and ear. When water damage occurs to plaster, efflorescence soon follows. That is the corrosion look to plaster that is so famous. Its the salts in the lime, becoming diluted in the water and making their way to the surface. Plaster is a 2 part system consisting of a basecoat and a finish coat. Often, the finish coat will peal off in sheets around water damage causing the patch to get much much larger than the apparent damage.
