Glenmont Drywall Water Damage Repair Services

Emergency Drywall Water Repair

Help is available any hour when water is running down a wall or a ceiling is bulging, before the drywall fails.

Drywall Drying Services

Small holes near the base of the wall let dry air reach the cavity, drying the studs and back of the drywall.

Ceiling Water Damage Repair

Ceiling drywall soaked from above is drained if it is holding water, and sagging sections are removed before they fall.

Wet Drywall Removal

Drywall that is soft, sagging or soaked through is cut out to sound material, usually a straight line above the wet area, so the wall cavity can dry.

Drywall Water Stain Removal

Stains are only treated after readings show the drywall and cavity are dry. Painting over damp drywall lets the stain return.
