Repairing Drywall Stains & Water Damage

Water damage and stains in drywall can be among the most inconvenient issues to arise, occurring when there is some type of leak or plumbing issue in the ceiling. It is often repairable without replacing any of the boards if the damage is minor. Damage can vary from a stain, to needing to replace a portion of the ceiling board, or worse still: deep-seeded mold. When water damage appears on your ceiling, it is important to call an expert on drywall repair in Orlando to consult and fix the damage.

First, your chosen drywall repair team will survey the damage and see if that portion of the ceiling will need to be replaced. If the ceiling panel is soaked or retaining water it will need to be replaced before fixing the drywall. If this is the case the repair team will replace that portion of the ceiling first, also checking for mold and spraying to prevent any more from growing. Once that is taken care of they will work on removing the stain from the ceiling.

This process is done by first choosing a base paint that will either act as a primer or sealant for the stain. Your experts will choose a finishing paint to go over the water stain on the ceiling. Once that dries, they will apply the drywall compound. After finishing the needed layers of drywall, making sure it is evenly coated, they will then apply a top layer of paint that matches the rest of the ceiling. Of course, throughout the process, your experts will be making sure to cover the area and blend it in well.

Drywall repair in Orlando can be a hard task to complete by yourself. It takes a lot of time, effort, and precise knowledge to get the job done well. There are also health hazards–including mold–that are best handled by a drywall repair team that is well equipped to handle any situation and treat it properly before doing any further work throughout your home.
