The Solution: Professional Ceiling Repair

After thoroughly assessing the situation, we began the ceiling replacement process. The first step was to carefully remove the damaged ceiling materials, ensuring that the area was safe and clear of debris. Sometimes underneath the visible water damage, a lot of the sheetrock has been deteriorated, and will need to be replaced to ensure the joints don’t fail over time.

Once the old ceiling drywall was removed, we installed a new drywall ceiling patch with 5/8” sheetrock. We always carry 1/2” and 5/8” on our service vehicles, as installing the wrong size requires more work with the plaster and joint compound to make the create a flat and smooth ceiling.

We also took extra precautions to prevent any future leaks or damage, ensuring that the plumbing in the affected area was properly sealed and in good condition.

With the ceiling fully replaced, Christine F's home was safe and restored, free from the concerns of further water damage.
