Specialized Ceiling Water Damage Repair Offered in Davidson
Emergency Ceiling Water Extraction
Emergency extraction protects the room below: furniture is moved or covered, buckets catch the water and the floor is extracted.
Popcorn Ceiling Water Damage Repair
Popcorn or acoustic texture absorbs water and stains easily. Damaged texture is removed in the repair area and new texture is sprayed to blend in.
Wet Drywall Ceiling Repair
Soft or sagging sections of ceiling drywall are cut out, the cavity is dried and new drywall is hung, taped and finished.
Ceiling Leak Source Identification
The source is photographed and noted for the roofer or plumber, since a ceiling repaired over an active leak will fail again.
Ceiling Mold Remediation
After removal and drying, framing that stayed wet can be treated with an antimicrobial before new drywall goes up.
When to Schedule Ceiling Water Damage Repair in Davidson

A musty smell in the room points to wet insulation or framing above the ceiling.
