Ceiling Structural Damage Assessment
Damage to joists or trusses is noted for a contractor, since structural repairs go beyond drywall work.
Ceiling Cavity Drying Services

Wet Drywall Ceiling Repair
New drywall is screwed to dry joists, taped and finished in several coats so the repair sits flush with the old ceiling.

Wet popcorn texture cannot be cleaned. The drywall underneath is dried or replaced, and the texture is reapplied once it is dry.
