Detailed Ceiling Water Damage Repair Solutions for University Place

Ceiling Cavity Drying Services

The space above the ceiling is dried with air movers and dehumidifiers, through the repair opening or small holes, until readings are normal.

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.

Ceiling Structural Damage Assessment

Dark spots on the ceiling mean the drywall stayed wet long enough for mold to start.

Soft or Spongy Drywall

Peeling Paint or Texture

Paint or ceiling texture that peels, flakes or bubbles usually has moisture behind it.

Sagging or Bubbling Drywall

Step 3: Antimicrobial Treatment
