A burst pipe, a roof leak after a hail storm, or flooding from a heavy rain — water damage to drywall is stressful and time-sensitive. Wet drywall loses its structural integrity quickly. It swells, sags, and becomes a breeding ground for mould if it's not addressed fast. If you're dealing with water-damaged walls or ceilings in your Calgary home, we can help. We remove the damaged sections, dry the area, install new board, and finish to a paint-ready standard.
When You Need Water Damage Drywall Repair
If your drywall is stained, soft to the touch, bubbling, or sagging, it's been compromised by water. Yellow or brown stains on ceilings usually mean a roof leak or plumbing issue above. Soft or spongy walls near bathrooms, kitchens, or basements indicate moisture penetration. Bubbling paint or peeling tape is a sign that water has gotten behind the surface. Mould growth — visible as dark spots or a musty smell — means the drywall has been wet for too long. The longer you wait, the more board needs to be replaced. Act fast to keep the repair small and the cost down.
Our Water Damage Drywall Repair Process
First, we confirm the water source has been stopped — we don't patch over an active leak. Then we assess the extent of the damage by checking the board and framing behind it. Damaged drywall is cut out cleanly, and the area is dried and treated if needed. We install new board, tape the seams, apply compound, sand smooth, and match the existing wall texture. For insurance claims, we provide detailed quotes and photos to support your documentation. Most water damage repairs are completed within one to two visits.
Water Damage Drywall Repair Cost in Calgary
Costs vary based on the size of the damaged area, whether the framing or insulation also needs attention, and the finish level required. Small areas — a few square feet — are straightforward. Larger sections or full wall replacements take more time and material. We provide a free written quote before any work begins. We also work with insurance adjusters and can provide the documentation needed for your claim.
