Our Secord basement drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Board to spec

In Secord we board ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall and fire-rated or soundproof board where a suite is involved.

Tape, mud and finish

We tape the Secord basement, apply mud coats with full drying time, then sand to a flat Level 4 or 5, checking under light before the paint hand-off.

Our Edmonton basement drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Board selection before we start — right product for every surface

Basement drywall in Edmonton is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Any wall touching a bathroom or laundry needs moisture-resistant. If there is a legal suite below or above, the ceiling and party walls need fire-rated. STC-rated soundproof board between the suite and the main living area reduces noise transmission significantly. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet — not after the inspector flags it.

Boarding, taping and mudding in Edmonton basements

Once the right board is on the right surfaces, every seam, inside corner, outside corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4 — three coats, proper drying time between each, sanded flat. Basement ceilings in Edmonton homes often have bulkheads for HVAC, beams and posts that need framing around them. We tape all of that to the same standard as the walls. When we leave, the basement looks the same quality from floor to ceiling.

Basement drywall board types used in Secord homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Secord

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Secord basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. In Secord basements it saves handling effort while finishing exactly like the main floors. Most interior basement partition walls in Secord homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated — where the spec matters in Secord

Exterior foundation walls in Secord homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. For bathrooms and laundry in Secord, moisture-resistant board goes on every wall. Code puts 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on every Secord suite ceiling. The Secord suite-to-main party wall is where STC soundproof board earns its cost — you can hear the difference. The Secord quote includes a surface-by-surface map with the correct product specified up front.
