Comprehensive Ceiling Water Damage Repair Services in Boys Town

Ceiling Water Stain Removal

A stain is only treated after readings show the drywall and cavity above are dry. Painting over a damp stain lets it come back.

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

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 Cavity Drying Services

Wet insulation above the ceiling is removed so the joists and back of the drywall can dry.

Ceiling Leak Source Identification

Moisture meters and thermal cameras show the wet pattern above the ceiling, which points back to the source.
