01Do you fix the roof or plumbing leak too?+
This service focuses on drywall restoration. The active leak should be repaired by the appropriate roofing, plumbing or HVAC professional first.
02Can stained drywall simply be painted?+
Only when the drywall is fully dry and structurally sound. Soft, swollen or delaminated material should be removed. Sound stains may also require an appropriate stain blocking primer.
03How long should drywall dry after a leak?+
There is no single safe waiting period. Drying depends on the amount of water, ventilation and hidden moisture. The material should be verified dry before it is closed or refinished.
