How to Repair Water Damage On Drywall & Ceilings.

Water can be destructive, especially in locations prone to heavy rainfall. Ceilings are among the most vulnerable areas in your home. They’re highly susceptible to water infiltration during a storm or water disaster and can even collapse if faced with too much moisture.

4 Common Signs of Drywall Water Damage

It’s generally pretty easy to spot water damage on drywall. Just look for these four telltale signs:

1. Water Stains

Yellow or brown stains are a clear indication of water damage on ceilings. These stains may grow or spread over time due to the water damage worsening behind your walls. Contact Same Day Restoration for same-day water mitigation.

2. Peeling or Bubbling Paint

Your drywall isn’t supposed to bubble or peel off. If you find that an area on your ceiling or drywall is peeling or bubbling, chances are there’s a water leak. Trapped water between your walls will start to deteriorate your paint over time.

3. Sagging or Bulging Drywall

Soft, sagging, or bulging drywall is a clear sign of water damage. Excessive water exposure can weaken drywall, leading to those sagging and building areas. Get in touch with a professional to mitigate the damages and restore your drywall.

4. Musty Odor or Mold Spores

All of that moisture trapped behind your walls creates a breeding ground for mold. Mold thrives in warm, moist environments and emits a musty odor as it spreads. If you smell any strange, musty odors or physically see mold growing on your walls, call the experts at Same Day Restoration.

How Same Day Restoration Repairs Water Leaks

Now that you know what the signs of water damage are, let’s take a look at how we repair the damages. Remember that all water damage repair and restoration should be handled by a professional.

Find the Source of the Leak

Before you give us a call, try to find the source of the water leak. This will help speed up the process. If you can’t find the source of the leak or if the source is unsafe, let us handle it. Sources can be anything from leaking roofs to cracked pipes.

Remove Water Damaged Drywall

Next, Same Day Restoration will get to work on mitigating the damages and removing the water-damaged drywall. Once water permeates drywall, the best way to repair it is by removing the affected area altogether. As the drywall is removed, we may uncover mold.

Repair the Water Leak

Don’t fix an apartment water leak yourself. As tempting as it may be, DIY-ing a water leak can lead to even bigger problems. Instead, let Same Day Restoration tackle the issue. We have the tools, training, and expertise needed to fix water leaks of all sizes.

Replace With New Drywall

After all damage and moisture are removed, Same Day Restoration technicians repair and replace your drywall or ceiling. Even though a drywall replacement may seem like a straightforward task to you, it’s always smart to leave the restoration projects to the professionals.

How to Dry Water Damage On Drywall & Ceilings

If you have drywall or ceiling water damage present and need to dry the area fast, employ the use of a solid dehumidifier. Just follow these simple steps:

Close your windows
Keep the affected area closed off
Use a dehumidifier or two
If you don’t have ad dehumidifier, use fans
Use a shop vacuum or call Same Day Restoration

We woke up one morning to a few inches of water in our living room. Chris was sent out, and really helped us through a difficult time. Chris was generous with his knowledgeable advice on what to do when I was at a loss. He helped me navigate what to do when my insurance didn’t cover things as well. I was in a bad spot, and because of this company quickly sending someone out I feel much better about the situation. So grateful and would use again 10/10.

We had a pipe burst over the weekend at our restaurant. The damage was extensive and we were worried about having to be shut down. Fortunately we called the right team out. The crews were able to minimize damage by getting here so quickly. They made it clear their goal was to get us back and running as quick as possible. They worked long days and within 5 days they had us partially open and ready for business. This truly saved our business and we forever grateful to the help they provided.
