Water-Damaged Wall Repairs Brisbane

About water-damaged wall repairs

Water damage weakens plasterboard. The board can swell, stain, bubble and go soft, and paint often peels away from the surface.

Once the source of the water has been fixed and the area has dried, we cut out the affected board and replace it with new plasterboard — moisture-resistant board where it suits the area.

Common causes of this wall damage

• Leaking pipes inside walls
• Laundry, kitchen or bathroom leaks into adjoining walls
• Storm water entry and flooding
• Hot water system or appliance leaks

Our typical repair process

1. 1Confirm the leak has been repaired by a licensed plumber and the area is drying.
2. 2Remove soft, swollen or stained plasterboard back to sound board.
3. 3Check the framing is dry and fit new plasterboard sections.
4. 4Tape, set and sand the repair smooth so it can be sealed and painted.
