Our water damage drywall repair process in Strathcona in Edmonton

Source-dry confirmation before we touch anything in Strathcona homes

Before we cut a single piece of board in any Strathcona home, we confirm the water source has been addressed and the cavity moisture is within acceptable range. What looks dry on an Strathcona wall can still be holding moisture in the board or the space behind it. We check. When it is not ready in Strathcona, we say exactly that and come back at the right time. In Strathcona, a wet source never gets boarded over — full stop.

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

Once confirmed dry, we cut the damaged board back to solid, undamaged material. We hang the new board in your Strathcona home and finish joints at Level 4 with coats built up and sanded flat. The repair is invisible under primer. We texture match to the surrounding ceiling or wall — knockdown, smooth or any existing pattern in the Strathcona home — and leave paint-ready.

Water Damage Drywall work we do in Strathcona in Edmonton

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

Strathcona 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 Strathcona — wall and ceiling water damage

Strathcona 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.
