Have you ever randomly looked up at the ceiling and noticed a spot that doesn’t look right? Have you heard an unusual sound coming from another room, went in to see what it was and had a stream of water coming out of the ceiling? I would venture to say almost every homeowner has had this dreaded experience.
Plumbing failures, roof leaks, and overflowing toilets are the three major causes for ceiling damage. Des Moines and the surrounding areas are known for high water hardness and high levels of calcium and magnesium. Over time, copper plumbing can form small erosion holes that start to leak and damage your drywall.
Most ceiling repairs can be accomplished by cutting out the damaged area and replacing it with new sheetrock and then finishing the area and blending in new texture. If the water leak was a slow leak and went unnoticed over a long period of time, you may have more damage that causes the ceiling to sag in a larger area. This type of damage may require a full sheet or sheets of drywall for an effective ceiling repair.
