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
Should I paint over a storm stain on my ceiling?
Only once the leak is fixed, the area is fully dry and the board is still firm. Painting over damp drywall usually lets the stain bleed back through.
Who do I call first after a roof leak?
A licensed roofer to stop the water. Drywall repair comes last, once the roof is sealed and the area has had time to dry.
Can wind-driven rain damage walls without a roof leak?
Yes. Strong wind can push rain past window frames, door thresholds and gaps around vents, soaking the drywall below even when the roof is fine.
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.
