Water damage drywall work we do in Mactaggart

Appliance and bathroom water damage in Mactaggart homes

The most common water damage drywall calls from Mactaggart homes from the late 1980s and 1990s come from appliance failures and bathroom leaks. Dishwasher supply line failures, washing machine hose splits and toilet seal failures send water through the subfloor and into the ceiling of the room below. We repair the resulting ceiling damage after the source is confirmed dry: cut the affected section back to solid board, install new board, tape the joints and coat to Level 4, and texture match so the patch blends into the surrounding ceiling.

Ice dam and roof leak ceiling repairs in Mactaggart

Mactaggart homes from the late 1980s and 1990s have roofs that are now 25-35 years old. Aging shingles and flashings combined with Edmonton winters create roof leak and ice dam conditions that send water through the ceiling. We confirm the source has been addressed and the cavity is dry before we close anything up — and we will tell you straight if it is not ready. Once confirmed dry, we cut the damaged board back to solid material, board, tape and texture match to paint-ready.

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

Area, cavity dryness and texture matching

The main cost drivers for water damage drywall repair across Edmonton are how much board needs to be replaced, how long the cavity needs to dry before repair can proceed, and how complex the texture match is. A single ceiling patch after a dishwasher leak in a newer Edmonton home is a half-day job. An ice dam that has soaked three rooms of ceiling in an older Whitemud bungalow — with a wet attic cavity above — takes longer to assess and dry before repair can close it in.

Source confirmation — the step that changes the repair cost

If the source has not been confirmed repaired when we arrive, or if the cavity moisture reads too high to close, the job timeline changes. We will always tell you straight. Closing drywall over a wet or active source is the single most common reason water damage repairs fail and need to be redone. We do not do it.

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. The drainage or waterproofing issue must be confirmed addressed before we board in Repair Mactaggart.
