What to Do If You Have Water Damaged Drywall

Depending on the severity of your drywall water damage, it may not be necessary to replace your drywall after a flood or leak. In the extent of the severe damage or damage covering a large section of a wall or ceiling, contact a professional for help as there may be structural damage to your home.

Additionally, if you have water logged drywall or a continuous leak, it is extremely important that you take action before mold or mildew develop. Mold spores in the air can be very dangerous to your health and untreated mold and mildew can cause even more damage to the structure of your home.

At The First Sign of a Water Damaged Wall or Ceiling

Take These Steps

  1. Assess the damage
  2. Attempt to dry the area and use a humidifier
  3. Repair the cause of the leak
  4. Repair or replace the affected areas
  5.  When in doubt, call a professional

Drywall Water Damage Detection

First, you should determine the extent of the water damage to your drywall. Drywall water damage can appear as softened or discolored areas on your wall or ceiling.  If the drywall water damage is widespread you need to call a professional restoration company; however, if the water damage only affects a small area and you have drywall experience, you may be able to replace the drywall yourself.

Mold and Mildew as a Result of Drywall Water Damage

The most important aspect of remedying drywall water damage is to prevent additional damage from mold or mildew. Mold and mildew occur most frequently when damp drywall sits with inadequate ventilation.

Regardless of the location or extent of the damage, we advise using dehumidifiers, industrial fans, or similar machines that can move a large volume of air for maximum ventilation. Standard household fans are not capable of moving an adequate amount of air needed to dry a room adequately.

If you do not adequately dry the drywall paneling, mold and mildew may develop, which is very dangerous. If you notice any black spots, discolored soft spots, or if the area is emitting a foul odor, contact a water remediation company professional immediately.

Even if there is no visible mold or mildew on the exterior of the drywall, the interior may be teeming with spores that can be very dangerous for your health. If you are unsure whether or not you have mold or mildew, call a professional water to check it out.

Steps to Prevent Drywall Water Damage

Even if you do not currently have water damaged drywall, there are a few things you can do to prevent serious damage stemming from small leaks that grow over time.

Once a month we recommend that you do a check on your plumbing, basements, crawl spaces, and attics to spot small issues before they become costly nightmares.

Damaged and/or Rusted Pipes

Pipes that burst or leak are common culprits of water damage. Be sure to replace any old or rusty pipes because they are more prone to breaking and leaking. Drains and toilets that become clogged or blocked can cause undue pressure in the pipe, which then causes it to leak or burst.  

Plumbing Problems

Some plumbing issues occur inside the walls and can be difficult to detect. Typically this is caused when pipe joints and hoses become disconnected or are not tightly, or appropriately connected. (Many times this occurs due to a previous DIY repair) Periodically checking under your sink and around any exposed plumbing for small leaks or water spots can help mitigate any future plumbing disasters.

Basement, Attic, or Crawl Space Concerns

Certain sections of your home such as crawl spaces, basements and attics are much more prone to water damage. Dark, damp crawl spaces can be a haven for mold and mildew, which is turn can then cause structural damage as they flourish. The concrete foundation of your home can cause leaking in the basement if there is moisture dripping through it. Condensation in the area between the attic and your home can cause moisture on the underside of the roof, which can lead to mold and rotting. When checking your home for potential causes of water damage be sure to look out for moisture in light fixtures as well as the overall condition of any noticeable piping.

Malfunctioning Household Appliances

As household appliances get older, their pipes may begin to crack and rust and their hoses or connections can weaken as the materials age. Refrigerators, water heaters, washing machines and dishwaters are all have many parts that are susceptible to deterioration, so keep a careful watch on older models. The two biggest culprits for water damage in homes are washing machines and hot water tanks.

HVACs (heating, ventilating and air conditioning units)

HVACs are also common cause of water damage. Air conditioning units require regular maintenance, and when not properly serviced can cause moisture to build up. When this moisture cools, it can encourage mold growth by interacting with mold spores and encouraging mold and mildew growth in the air conditioning ducts.

Natural Disasters and Weather Related Water Damage

Although you have no control over natural water-related disasters, you can prepare ahead of time to minimize their damaging effects on your home. In the event of a flash flood, sudden storm or hurricane prompt attention by calling a water extraction company will help lessen the time for water damage to occur.

When in doubt, call a professional water damage repair company like the Patch and Paint Pros. Reputable water damage drywall repair companies have the expertise and equipment to handle and repair any kind of wall or ceiling issues arising from water damage to your home.

Patch and Paint Pros recently completed a ceiling repair after water damage in our 1860's home. The options and pricing for correcting the problem were clearly stated, and Meredith in their office was very accommodating in setting up the most convenient time for the work. Matt and Brian were prompt, professional and knowledgeable, and communicated with us about every step in the process. Brian especially was fantastic, as was the finished result. There were several quirky issues related to the age and history of the house, and all were addressed with his experienced workmanship and consistent attention to detail. We will definitely use this company again, and would be more than happy to see Brian, Matt, and even Keith, on any future projects!

I hired Patch and Paint Pros to tear down the garage ceiling, insulate the ceiling, and install new drywall with paint. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the experience and highly recommend them as a contractor. Below are a few details as to why I’m endorsing them.Scheduling: I initially submitted a request online for an estimate and someone contacted me very quickly to talk through the details of the project and schedule someone to come out to bid the job. They were very accommodating with scheduling so that I could break the project into two phases in order to coordinate their work around plumbing and electrical work. Between the phases, Meredith, the Project Manager, contacted me regularly to check on the progress and see if I was ready to schedule the install. At each phase, they were able to schedule within the dates that I requested. This was crucial in keeping the entire project on schedule.Tear-down crew: Removing drywall and old insulation is a hard and dirty job. Luis and his crew did a great job. They were careful when working around the electrical wires, pipes, and the garage door rails. When they finished, they were thorough with the clean-up.Drywall Install: Brian K., the crew leader, Matt and Eric installed the drywall and painted. Brian and his crew were great. Brian took a lot of time to go over the project and to explain the process and timeline. He is very organized, detail-oriented, and works hard to do the job correctly and make it look perfect. He’s a true professional who takes pride in his workmanship. He is exactly the type of tradesman that you want to work with for a project like this. Brian and his crew exceeded my expectations, and it was a pleasure to work with them.

We used Patch and Paint Pro to paint 3 old external wooden doors, a vent and a metal balcony. Our house is 98 years old, and I believe that those doors, as well as the balcony, were the original ones. They had been painted over many times and they really looked like they needed a good clean up before a new coat of paint. We wanted professional painters who knew how to preserve the character of the doors, but with the new shine of fresh paint: John, from P&PP did an excellent job. The metal balcony was seriously rusted and was a real eyesore. It now looks almost new and beautifully blends with the rest of the house. My husband and I are very happy with the results, and we will consider P&PP again for future work.

We spent a lot of time researching contractors for a project at our house and we ended up selecting Patch and Paint Pros based on their great online reviews. Ken Hoffman came to our house to provide the estimate, and Matt Anastasio was the Project Manager who did the work. Ken and Matt showed up on time, and they were both professional, friendly, and generally nice guys who were easy to talk to. They were the type of people that you feel comfortable having at your house. Matt did a great job on our project. He spent the time to make sure that the work was done correctly and cleaned everything up before he left. It was particularly humid on the day that he painted so he even offered to come back if the paint did not dry correctly. Thankfully, this was not needed but it was a gesture that we really appreciated. Overall, we were very happy with Patch and Paint Pros. We would definitely recommend the company to friends and family and would certainly hire them again!

I I recently hired Patch and Paint Pros to repair and paint numerous rooms in my 100-year-old Bryn Mawr home. The entire process was flawless from start to finish. Ken (estimator) came to my house to review all the work that would need to be completed. He spent valuable time answering my numerous questions and providing helpful recommendations. Ken was able to have a team member, John, stop by within 24 hours of my estimate appointment to fulfill an urgent plastering request. Customer service at its’ finest! I received my estimate promptly and was scheduled to begin work shortly after. The office staff, Meredith and Janice, are extremely amiable and accommodating. Meredith kindly helped schedule the various phases of work needed and spent time making sure I felt comfortable with all details and pricing involved. She even checked in with me while the Patch and Paint Pro team were at my house to ensure I was pleased with all the work being completed. Ryan also stopped by to introduce himself and make sure everything was going well, and prior to the first day of work, Matt visited to proactively review everything and ask me questions I would never have even thought about (i.e., type of sheen, placement, etc.). Matt, Andrew, and Bob are the absolute best! Andrew did amazing patch repair and finishing carpentry work, while Bob, alongside Matt, flawlessly and efficiently painted numerous walls, trims, and baseboards, all within a few days. The team was always punctual, kind, accommodating, and professional and went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with the work being done. Their attention to detail, ability to complete the job in a timely manner, and fair pricing are appreciated. I would highly recommend the Patch and Paint Pros team and will be hiring them for all my future repair and paint job needs as I continue to renovate my home. I could not be more pleased with the entire experience.

As a result of Ida we had water damage from our skylight to the baseboards. We chose Patch and Paint Pros after reading their reviews. Jesus showed up promptly this morning at the scheduled time. He proceeded to evaluate the task at hand and went to work. Jesus suggested we may prefer our upstairs hallway also painted, we agreed and glad we did. Both Jesus and his associate were fast, efficient, friendly and polite. They exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Patch and Paint Pros to family, friends and anyone else looking for quality work! Thank you very much, Bob Dugan

We recently used P&PP to paint the entirety of our new home, including walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and trim, which also included patching large openings in the drywall following the removal of an intercom system. There were some unique challenges in painting over the old trim pieces due to a short-lived hybrid paint used in the early 90s, but we worked with P&P on a resolution to the issue and they executed the job to perfection. We couldn't be happier with how things turned out.What sets P&PP apart from their competition is that they truly care about the quality of work that they deliver. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a drywall or painting project, big or small.

We hired Patch and Paint to repair the drywall in our family room, back stairs and the basement. Andrew was very knowledgeable and friendly, he arrived on time and explained the process and what to expect. Brian did an amazing job repairing/replacing our drywalls and even repaired around the area affected to ensure we will not have any issues in the future. He is a perfectionist, very friendly and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain my 9 year old how the work is done, what materials are used and how to spackle like a pro. He kept the place tidy as he worked fast and did a great job minimizing the disruption in our home. The walls look amazing and he matched the paint perfectly! Patch and Paint was a joy to work with!Highly recommended!

I had a ceiling drywall damage which requires urgent repair as fall/winter weather was coming. Patch and Paint Pros was first to come on site and give me an estimate, while a few other local service providers just gave an estimate virtually by texts/pictures and some others scheduled me a month later because they're busy and it's not a big project. Meredith was very helpful scheduling the project on a Friday late afternoon; and Mercedes did a great job finishing the repair and painting done next week. The entire process was smooth, efficient and satisfactory. It is easy to tell Patch and Paint Pros are very well organized, professional, responsive and great in communication. Highly recommend!

Brian did an amazing job. On the first day he clearly explained everything to us – the schedule, timing, how everything would work, etc. (He even recommended scheduling electricians while he was there so he could fix anything in case they damaged any of this work.) He worked fast and does really good work. The amount of progress each day was incredible, which really helped because we had to displace three kids to have their bedrooms drywalled and painted. I highly recommend patch and paint pros. The whole process was really easy – from the estimate to scheduling to having the work done.

Following some water damage, our basement needed drywall repair and repainting. We checked out Patch & Paint based on recommendation and hired them based on the numerous positive reviews.Carlos did an amazingly thorough job. He even recommended some minor repairs (ie. fix nail pops) that ended up making the basement look so much better. Carlos was super nice, professional, and tidy - and the paint work was meticulously done. Thanks to Carlos from Patch & Paint, our basement now looks nicer than before!

You don't have to look for any other estimates. Patch and Paint Pros are a great value with a punctual, detail-oriented, hard-working team. Ryan was a dream to work with and communication was always great and honest. Every time I had another area to be repaired, he always responded "We'll take care of that" and "No worries". The finished interior painting to our newly purchased home really makes it feel like our space and a whole new house. Ryan especially worked hard to repair all the saggy ceilings and we are so grateful he took it upon himself to make sure all the work was done properly and on time (we had a tight move-in timeline). Patch and Paint Pros are a gem and we would not hesitate to call for help again and trust whatever price Ryan wants to charge (that is how much we trust him). THANK YOU SO MUCH again Ryan and PPP team!! ^__^

Ryan and his extensive team of professionals have done a broad range of projects in our two homes and each has left us completely happy with their services. The quality of the work is excellent, especially for the rates. They are responsive and support us from project inception, through all decisions, and execute perfectly, keeping our home as clean as possible all the while. We welcome the warm and talented team into our homes for extended periods and the relationship matters very much to us. We couldn’t be happier and will continue to call them for many years to come.
