Drywalls in a New York City home or apartment basement can crack or develop holes due to wear and tear. But water damage can ruin their health prematurely. Even the robust drywall can give in if left unattended after exposure to water damage. Since New York is known for heavy rainfall and humid conditions, you must protect them. Otherwise, the drywalls will lose their strength. Zicklin Contracting is there to help. Call us so our team can reach you and address your concerns. Our team is adept at mitigating all types of drywall water damage.

 

Most people believe wet drywalls require replacement. They delay restoration efforts by thinking about the water remediation and replacement costs. Remember, depending on the condition, drywall can also be fixed through repair. However, the final decision can be made after checking the structural strength and severity of water damage. Complete replacement can be advisable if the drywall was wet for more than 48 hours, became black-colored, etc. However, if only the drywall were damp and not the cavity behind it, we could use exterior drying solutions to tackle the problem. However, drying the wall cavity and drywall is necessary for moist areas behind the cavity. It can also require making a flood cut to remove the wet sections.

Signs of water-damaged drywall

Inspecting the drywall for water damage remediation NYC is a good idea. The signs can manifest themselves as round watermarks on the ceilings and walls. These prominent signs often indicate that your drywall needs replacement. If ceilings and walls feel wet when you touch them, you can again be sure that drywall needs to be replaced. However, a repair can be suggested for a minor damaged area.

Nevertheless, keep an eye on peeling or bubbling paint, sagging walls, fading, and staining issues. Please don’t wait if you notice these damages. We will send our team to examine the entire area and recommend a proper solution to tackle a wet drywall.

  • Do you get any odor from wet drywall?

A musty odor can be one of the early signs of wet drywall in the home.

Water-damaged drywall restoration

Our professionals will personally inspect the drywall area in the basement for damage. If only a small area is affected, we can cut it out with a utility knife and clean the surrounding parts. The technicians will also dry the area to prevent mold risks. We can use dehumidifiers, fans, and ventilation techniques to improve air quality. Minor damage can be patched up and dried. We will take care of finishing, too. However, severe damage will demand drywall removal and replacement. The job will end with priming and painting. During the process, the underlying sources of water damage will be fixed to keep your drywall structure safe for a long time. Consider troubles like rising groundwater, inadequate drainage, improper insulation, etc. We will manage them by applying the best waterproofing solutions that fit your budget, too.
