Detailed Ceiling Drywall Water Damage Restoration for Irvington Properties
Emergency Roof Leak Response
When a roof leak is pouring into a ceiling during a storm, a tarp can be placed over the damaged area to stop more water while the ceiling is drained.
Emergency Ceiling Water Extraction
Water pooled on top of ceiling drywall is drained into buckets through a small controlled hole, which relieves the weight before the ceiling can fall.
Ceiling Mold Prevention
After drying, framing and the back of drywall that stayed damp for days can be cleaned and treated before the ceiling is closed.

Once the cavity is dry, new drywall is hung, taped, textured and painted to blend with the rest of the ceiling.
