Specialized Ceiling Water Damage Repair Offered in Killeen
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.
Ceiling Leak Source Identification
Before any repair, the pros trace where the water came from, such as the roof, an upstairs bathroom, an attic AC unit or a pipe.
Ceiling Cavity Drying Services
Cavity drying comes before any repair, so new drywall and paint go over dry framing.
Popcorn Ceiling Water Damage Repair
Wet popcorn texture cannot be cleaned. The drywall underneath is dried or replaced, and the texture is reapplied once it is dry.
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.
When to Schedule Ceiling Water Damage Repair in Killeen
