Ceiling Water Damage Repair in New Westminster
New Westminster plaster ceilings in Queens Park and Sapperton. A small upstairs leak becomes a lid that wants to come down in sheets.
Character houses here have plaster lids, dormers, and chimneys. Uptown apartments have flat roofs that fail at the drain. The hill does not change the ceiling physics. It changes how fast a roof detail gets driven. Glenbrooke and the Queen's Park fringe match the character-house pattern. The West End adds older apartments. We take wet plaster down on purpose.
Sheets, not stains
Once lath is soaked, plaster fails heavy. We score, catch the debris, and clear the bay. A screwdriver hole is how a dining room fills with wet lath. Stay out from under it.
Dormers
The leak is at the dormer or the chimney. The bedroom ceiling shows it late. We open the wet bay in the attic side as much as from below. Paint on the bedroom lid does not dry the attic.
Apartment drains
A blocked drain on an older Uptown roof stains the top-floor ceiling and the wall under it. The building has to clear the drain. We rebuild the lid after the bay is dry. Patching during the leak is waste.
Walls that are part of the lid
Water that ran the corner wets the top of the plaster wall. A ceiling-only patch leaves a damp top plate. We cut the corner when the meter says the wall is in the loss.
