Yes, fully insured — important for water damage work in Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill where an insurance claim may be involved.

Do you repair water damaged drywall in Hodgson?

Yes — Hodgson is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud.

How do you know if the drywall cavity in my Hodgson home is dry enough?

We check cavity moisture before we start. Dry-looking surfaces in Hodgson homes frequently hide elevated readings in the board core or cavity. If the reading is too high in your Hodgson home, we tell you and come back when it is ready. That verification is mandatory on Hodgson jobs — the lasting repair depends on it.

Do I need to fix the leak before you repair the drywall?

Yes. Closing a Hodgson repair requires two proofs: the source repaired, the cavity testing dry. We will not board over a wet or active source — it would fail. If you are unsure whether the source is fully addressed, we will check when we assess the job and advise you directly.

Will you document my Repair Hodgson claim with photos and invoices?

Yes — we document the damage and repair for your Hodgson claim, with photos and invoices your insurer can use.

How long does water damage drywall take in an Hodgson home?

Timeline depends on scope. We give you a specific timeline at the on-site quote. Most single-room or single-area jobs in Hodgson are complete in one to two days. Larger basement or whole-home jobs take longer and are scoped precisely before we start.

Hodgson sources include ice dam damage and roof aging, dishwasher and washing machine supply line failures, toilet seal failures and bathroom fixture leaks from the floor above. Hodgson homes from the 2000s and 2010s are higher-end Whitemud builds where appliance failures and window leak repairs are the most common water damage calls. We confirm the source is dry, cut back to solid, board, tape and texture match — paint-ready when we leave.

Wall and basement water damage in Hodgson homes

Wall water damage in Hodgson homes typically comes from plumbing failures inside the wall cavity, window or door flashing leaks and — in older Hodgson homes — poly-B plumbing fitting failures. Hodgson basement exterior wall damage from foundation ingress or window-well overflow is repaired with moisture-resistant board, taped to Level 4. The drainage or waterproofing issue must be confirmed addressed before we board in Hodgson.

Hodgson drywall in context

About Hodgson

The Hodgson neighbourhood was named after John Hodgson (1888-1969) who was the city comptroller and financial commissioner for the City of Edmonton for nearly 40 years.

What we see in Hodgson

In Hodgson the drywall work is first-year settling, basement dev for first owners, Level 5 over builder-grade. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Types of water damage drywall we repair across Edmonton

Ceiling water damage — roof leaks, ice dams, appliance overflow

The most common water damage repair call from Edmonton homeowners is ceiling damage. Sources include ice dams (common in established Whitemud communities with older roofs and lower attic insulation values), aging roof leaks, dishwasher and washing machine supply line failures, toilet seal failures and bathroom fixture leaks coming through from the floor above. We confirm the source is addressed and dry, cut back to solid, board, tape and texture match.

Wall water damage — plumbing failures, window and flashing leaks

Edmonton wall water damage typically comes from poly-B plumbing fitting failures (common in homes built 1975–1995), slow appliance or fixture leaks that run inside the wall cavity, and window or door flashing failures in newer builds. Older Edmonton homes — Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill — have the highest poly-B exposure. We cut the affected section of wall board back to solid, dry material, re-board, tape and finish.

Basement wall water damage in Edmonton homes

Basement exterior wall damage from foundation ingress, window well overflow or failed weeping tile drainage is common in Edmonton homes across all eras. We use moisture-resistant drywall for all basement re-boarding, tape joints to Level 4 and leave a paint-ready surface. No Repair Hodgson boarding happens until the drainage or waterproofing problem is confirmed fixed.

Our Hodgson water damage repair process, step by step

Remove the damaged board

In Hodgson we remove all water-damaged drywall down to sound material — leaving damaged board in place risks mould and a repair that fails again.

Replace, seal and finish

We replace the board, apply a stain-blocking primer so marks do not bleed through paint, then tape, mud and texture-match so the repair disappears.

Water Damage Drywall work we do in Hodgson

Ice dam ceiling damage in 1960s and 1970s Hodgson homes

Hodgson homes from the 1960s and 1970s have older roof assemblies with lower insulation values than modern builds. Ice dams form when attic heat escapes and melts snow that refreezes at the cold overhang. The melt water backs up under the shingles and comes through the ceiling. We confirm the cavity is dry, cut the damaged board back to solid material, install new board, tape and coat the joints and texture match.

Poly-B plumbing failures in Hodgson — wall and ceiling water damage

Hodgson homes from the 1960s and 1970s frequently have poly-B (polybutylene) plumbing. When a poly-B fitting fails, water often runs inside the wall cavity before it shows on the surface. We repair the resulting drywall damage after the plumber has confirmed the cavity is dry: cut out the affected board, install new board, tape and match the texture.

What affects the cost of water damage drywall repair in Hodgson?

How much board needs replacing and how dry the cavity is in Hodgson

The main cost drivers for water damage drywall repair in Hodgson are how much board needs to come out, whether the cavity is dry enough to close when we arrive, and how complex the texture match is. A single ceiling patch after a dishwasher leak in an Hodgson home is a half-day job. An ice dam that has soaked ceiling board across two or three rooms — with elevated cavity moisture — takes longer to assess and needs additional drying time before repair can proceed.

We tell you straight if the cavity is not ready to close in Hodgson

If the source has not been confirmed repaired, or if the cavity moisture is too high when we arrive, the job cannot be closed that day. In Hodgson we give you the straight answer and return when conditions are right. Closing drywall over a wet cavity in an Hodgson home is the most common reason water damage repairs fail and need to be redone.

Types of water damage we repair in Hodgson homes

Ceiling water damage

The most common call is ceiling damage — roof and ice dam leaks, appliance overflow, and bathroom fixture leaks from the floor above. Settling cracks, aging stipple and the odd plaster repair is a common source here.

Wall and basement water damage

Wall damage typically comes from plumbing failures inside the cavity or flashing leaks; basement exterior damage is repaired with moisture-resistant board once the drainage issue is confirmed addressed.
