Comprehensive Ceiling Water Damage Repair Services in White Bear Lake
Wet Drywall Ceiling Repair
Soft or sagging sections of ceiling drywall are cut out, the cavity is dried and new drywall is hung, taped and finished.
Ceiling Water Stain Removal
Once the ceiling is confirmed dry, water stains are sealed with a stain-blocking primer and repainted, so they do not bleed through new paint.
Ceiling Structural Damage Assessment
Joists and drywall are checked for sagging, soft spots and loose fasteners after a leak, before any patching starts.
Ceiling Mold Remediation
If mold has started on ceiling drywall after a leak, the affected drywall is removed in a contained area and the joists are cleaned once dry.
Ceiling Cavity Drying Services
Wet insulation above the ceiling is removed so the joists and back of the drywall can dry.
Signs Your Ceiling Needs Water Damage Repair
Brownish Water Stains
Brown or yellow rings on the ceiling mean water has soaked into the drywall from above.
Peeling Paint or Texture
Paint or ceiling texture that peels, flakes or bubbles usually has moisture behind it.
Cracking Along Seams
Cracks along drywall seams can form as wet drywall sags and pulls on the tape.
