How the repair works
Confirm the leak is sealed
The roofer or window contractor fixes the opening first, so the new drywall is not soaked again by the next storm.
Dry and test
The area dries out, then moisture readings show how far the damage spreads and where the cut lines go.
Remove and replace
Soft or stained board is cut back to dry material and a new piece is fitted with solid backing.
Finish to match
Joints are taped and feathered, texture is matched and stain-blocking primer and touch-up paint blend the patch.

Storm & Roof Leak Drywall Repair questions
Why is my storm-damaged ceiling sagging?
Wet gypsum loses its strength and the weight of soaked insulation pulls it down. A sagging section needs to be removed and replaced, not pushed back up.
Do you remove mold from storm-damaged walls?
No. We recommend a licensed mold specialist for any growth. We patch the drywall once remediation is complete and the area is dry.
Should I take photos before the repair?
Yes. Many homeowners like to keep photos of storm damage for their records and their insurer. They also help us quote the repair accurately.
Can you handle flooding in several rooms?
That kind of wall-to-wall rebuild needs a general contractor. We focus on patching and replacing damaged sections of walls and ceilings.
