What if there is mould behind the wall?

Small surface growth on the board comes out with the board. Anything larger belongs with a remediation company, and we will tell you plainly if that is what you are looking at.

How long should I wait after a leak?

Fix the source, dry the space, then call. Repairing a wet cavity just traps the problem.

Water Damage Repair

Wet drywall does not dry back to good

Once board has swollen, it has lost its strength and it keeps the stain. We remove what is compromised, make sure what stays is dry, and rebuild it properly.

Water-damaged drywall cut away to a clean line with dry framing exposed behind

What's included

No line items you did not ask for, and nothing skipped because it does not show.

Moisture checked, not guessed

We meter the surrounding board before cutting so the line is drawn where the damage actually ends.

Cut to a clean line

Compromised board comes out square and back to framing so the new piece has something real to fasten to.

Stain sealed

Water stains bleed through ordinary paint forever. Everything gets a stain-blocking primer before finish coats.

Straight talk about the source

We repair the surface. If the leak above it is still live, we will say so before we close the wall.

What it costs

Water repairs vary more than any other job because the extent is hidden until we open it. The calculator gives a starting range; a photo lets us narrow it fast.

No financing fee, markup or gross-up is built into a displayed price. What you see is the cash price, plus HST.

Why a range?

Until we see the wall, two things are unknown: how far the damage runs past what is visible, and how hard the surrounding finish is to match.

Pushes it down: solid edges around the hole, a flat untextured wall, several repairs in one room, easy access.

Pushes it up: crushed board that has to be opened wider, heavy texture, high or awkward ceilings, hidden moisture, and plaster that needs a coat to set before finishing.

Send photos with the form below and we usually collapse the range to a single number the same day. No financing fee, markup or gross-up is built into this price.
