Do you repair water damaged drywall in Shaganappi?

Yes — Shaganappi is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant.

Does the leak need to be fixed before you repair the drywall in my Shaganappi home?

Yes. The source must be confirmed repaired and the cavity dry before we close the repair — we will not board over a wet or active source.

How do you know if the cavity is dry enough in my Shaganappi home?

We check cavity moisture before we start. If the reading is too high we tell you and come back when it is ready — this step is non-negotiable.

Can you match the ceiling or wall texture after a repair in Shaganappi?

Yes. Texture matching is part of every water damage repair we do — the repair is not visible under paint.

Do you use moisture-resistant board for basement repairs in Shaganappi?

Yes. All basement exterior re-boarding uses moisture-resistant drywall, taped to Level 4 and paint-ready when we leave.

Is it worth keeping the original plaster in our Shaganappi character home, or should we just replace it with drywall?

Depends on the damage — small areas are usually cheaper and more true-to-character to repair in place; if a whole wall is failing, replacing with drywall and matching the surrounding texture is often the better long-term call. We'll tell you honestly which applies.

Water damage drywall repair in Shaganappi

Water damage drywall calls in Shaganappi come from aging roofs, ice dams, plumbing failures, appliance leaks and basement ingress. We confirm the source is repaired and the cavity is dry before we close anything — then cut back to solid material, board, tape to Level 4 and texture match. Shaganappi is an older SW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so the calls here are usually settling cracks, aging stipple and the odd plaster repair.

What affects the cost of water damage drywall repair in Shaganappi?

How much board and how dry the cavity is

The cost in Shaganappi depends on how much board needs to come out, whether the cavity is dry enough to close, and how complex the texture match is. A single ceiling patch is a half-day job; damage across multiple rooms with elevated cavity moisture takes longer.

We tell you straight if it is not ready to close

If the source has not been confirmed repaired or the cavity moisture is too high in your Shaganappi home, we will not close it that day — closing over a wet cavity is the most common reason water damage repairs fail.

Our Shaganappi water damage repair process, step by step

Source-dry confirmation before we touch anything

Before we cut a single piece of board in your Shaganappi home, we confirm the source has been addressed and cavity moisture is within range. If it is not ready, we tell you and come back when it is.

Cut to solid, board, tape to Level 4 and texture match

We cut damaged board back to solid material, board, tape to Level 4 and texture match to the surrounding Shaganappi ceiling or wall — the repair is invisible under primer.

Types of water damage we repair in Shaganappi homes

Ceiling water damage

The most common call is ceiling damage — roof and ice dam leaks, appliance overflow, and bathroom fixture leaks from the floor above. Settling cracks, aging stipple and the odd plaster repair is a common source here.

Wall and basement water damage

Wall damage typically comes from plumbing failures inside the cavity or flashing leaks; basement exterior damage is repaired with moisture-resistant board once the drainage issue is confirmed addressed.

Common water damage situations in Shaganappi

A lot of our Shaganappi calls come from owners partway through a renovation who have opened up a wall and found old plaster, horsehair lath, or a mix of both — we can patch back into it or remove and replace with modern board, whichever suits the rest of the room. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.
