Specialized Ceiling Water Damage Repair Offered in Rialto
Ceiling Structural Damage Assessment
A ceiling that held a lot of water may have stretched or pulled away from its fasteners. Those areas are replaced rather than patched.
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.
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 Leak Source Identification
Moisture meters and thermal cameras show the wet pattern above the ceiling, which points back to the source.
Ceiling Mold Remediation
Affected material is bagged inside the work area, and air scrubbers filter dust while the ceiling is opened and cleaned.
How to Know You Need Ceiling Water Damage Repair in Your Home

Step 1: Leak Stopping and Safety
