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 Central 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 McCauley 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.

Our McCauley water damage repair process, step by step

Remove the damaged board

In McCauley 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 McCauley in Edmonton

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

McCauley 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 McCauley — wall and ceiling water damage

McCauley 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.
