Flood, Water Or Mold Damaged Drywall Repair And Restoration

It is important for you to start considering the long-term impact of seasonal flooding on your drywall, given the high monsoonal moisture that is always experienced in Southern California’s Riverside County, which is responsible for about 2.25 inches and 3.54 inches of rainfall in Temecula and Murrieta respectively. Furthermore, if your drywall has been damaged by flood water, you also have to start thinking about taking measures towards repairing and restoring it.

Water Damaged Drywall Management

When subjected to continuous flooding or the regular monsoon rains associated with the La Nina-El Nino events that are experienced every now and then, drywall – which is actually considered to be more durable and sturdier than traditional plasters – becomes prone to serious damage. Reports of flash floods punctuated by showers of rain and thunderstorms here and there fill the airwaves courtesy of weather forecasting experts. Many locals have come to accept these as a signal of the flooding Temecula and Murrieta residents have come to associate this region with over the years.     

This doesn’t always have to be the case. It is possible for you to handle your water damaged drywall as a DIY project. More importantly, you can engage the help of experts who are ready and willing to repair and restore your damaged drywall if you do not have the skills to do it.

Understanding the sort of damage that you are facing is the most important part of managing water damaged drywall. In some homes, having mold on drywall is not considered to be a big deal, for instance.  

Repairing Water Damaged Drywall

As useful as it is, water can also be quite damaging. While it is true that water makes up a huge proportion of the human body, it can wreak havoc on drywall and other parts of your property.

The integrity of your drywall can be significantly affected by the presence of a simple hole. As such, it is essential that it is fixed as soon as possible.

Our seasoned experts at Golden State Drywall Repair Pros can furnish you with an accurate cost estimate if you are unable to come up with one yourself.

The choice is yours.

It can be quite challenging for you to conduct a drywall repair. For those with minimal knowledge on how to conduct such repairs, this is definitely the case. Any damage to your walls, floor and even ceiling caused by continuous rains and the resultant flooding can be properly addressed by a qualified professional. Simply put, when it comes to ensuring the structural integrity of your wall, experts are your best bet.   

Restoration Of Water Damaged Drywall

You are wrong, if you actually think that performing drywall repair is enough. Drywall restoration is also necessary.  

You also need to conduct drywall restoration, even though drywall repair is enough to help you prevent the formation of spores and the associated allergies within your house. The removal of mold from your damaged walls is just part of the overall process. Restoring your wall’s initial appearance, or even improve upon it, is an important part of any effective water damaged drywall management process.    

The terms drywall repair and drywall restoration should not be confused with each other. The overall effect of the water damage on the integrity of the wall must be carefully evaluated when it comes to restoration. We mainly keep the damage from spreading and becoming worse during drywall repair. However, bringing back your wall to its previous undamaged condition is the main focus during restoration.  

When finishing drywall, the same applies. Visible signs of mold are normally left on the surface of the wall. To completely eliminate this mark, you need to apply some elbow grease to scrub if off. On top of that, a few coats of paint may also be needed.
