Ceiling Repair, Melbourne, FL

When water leaks into your ceiling and creates a wet spot, it can be tempting to ignore the issue or cover it with paint. However, this will only lead to more problems down the road. In order to avoid mold growth that can result from neglecting water damage, you should repair your water damaged ceiling as soon as possible!

Here's a few tips to best spot water damage and know when ceiling repair is required:

• If you notice anything that looks like a spill or if there are droplets running down your wall, this could be a sign that it is coming from above.
• Ceilings in certain areas, such as bathrooms, may also have an issue with condensation due to the high humidity.
• If you notice a musty, mold smell coming from your ceiling or if it is peeling and bubbling in the area near vents, this can also be a sign of water damage.
• Ceilings may start to discolor due to moisture as well and will show signs like wood rot does on furniture when it gets wet.
• Ceilings will also sag as it droops from leaks and a built up of weight over time but this can be fixed by leveling out the ceiling with any gaps or cracks that have appeared around pipes, vents, lights...etc. 

Water damage can lead to mold and mildew growth. Mold is toxic, especially for people with asthma or allergies. Moldy drywall should be removed and replaced with new drywall.

Ceilings that have been water damaged could be a safety hazard in the event of a fire too. Additional dangers include the fact that ceilings can become even more damaged if they are not repaired. Ceilings could sag or crack, often leading to structural damage and further complication.

The best approach to repairing a ceiling is to first consider the damage it has sustained. If your ceiling is damaged due to water leakages, then you can remove the old drywall boards using a crowbar and screwdriver. Once the old boards are removed, you need to clean up all traces of mold and mildew before proceeding.

Any damages that have been sustained should be repaired with a new drywall board or panel. The process is similar to replacing an entire ceiling because it involves cutting out a piece of drywall for the hole then installing the drywall in its place.
