Interior Ceiling Repair After Water Damage

The Situation

The water had seeped into the upper corner of the wall, causing bubbling, discoloration, and a large patch where paint and older layers of drywall were peeling away. Beneath the surface, we found evidence of older materials, including a green layer from a previous paint job. While the water intrusion had already been fixed, the visual damage was clear and needed a complete professional restoration.

Our Repair Approach

Every water-damaged area needs proper evaluation and preparation. Here’s how we approached this job:

1. Careful Removal:

   • We stripped away all peeling paint and compromised drywall.

   • Cleaned and dried the surface to prevent further deterioration.

2. Patching and Rebuilding:

   • Applied mesh tape for reinforcement.

   • Used multiple layers of joint compound to build the surface back up smoothly.

3. Priming the Surface:

   • This step is key when working with areas affected by stains or uneven materials. We applied a full primer coat to seal the patch and prevent bleed-through.

4. Paint Blending:

   • We used a neutral base and carefully blended the repair area with the surrounding wall and ceiling.

   • Final coat was applied with feathering techniques for a seamless result.

Clean, Dry, and Restored

The final result is a fully restored ceiling corner with no signs of previous damage. The surface is smooth, evenly colored, and protected against future issues.
