Drywall Water Damage Repair Services in Loveland
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.
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.

Drying continues until readings on the drywall and studs match dry walls elsewhere in the house.
Drywall Water Stain Removal
Once drywall is dry, water stains are sealed with a stain-blocking primer and painted, so they do not bleed through.

Peeling Paint or Wallpaper

Dripping Sounds Behind Walls
Dripping or trickling sounds inside a wall point to a pipe leak behind the drywall.
Soft or Sagging Drywall
