Established Southwest — ice dam and poly-B repair specialists

Why Blackmud Creek homeowners call Emplastrum for water damage drywall repair in Edmonton

Our Edmonton water damage drywall repair process in Edmonton

Confirm the source is dry before we touch anything in Edmonton homes

Before we cut a single piece of board, we confirm the water source has been addressed and the cavity moisture is within acceptable range. In older Edmonton homes — especially Southwest communities with ice dam exposure or homes with poly-B plumbing — a cavity that looks dry to the eye can still read elevated moisture. We check. If your Blackmud Creek cavity is not ready, you get the honest call and a return visit when it is. No exceptions.

Cut to solid, board, tape to Level 4 and texture match

Once confirmed dry, we cut the damaged board back to solid, undamaged material. We do not leave partial or suspect board in place and patch over it. New board goes in, joints are properly taped to Level 4 — bedded tape, multiple coats, sanded flat. The repair is invisible under primer. We texture match the area to the surrounding ceiling or wall — knockdown, smooth or any existing pattern — and leave paint-ready.
