Ceiling Water Damage Repair in Vancouver
Plaster ceilings in Kits, Mount Pleasant, and East Vancouver. They fail in sheets once the lath is soaked.
Character-house lids in Dunbar, Kitsilano, and Hastings-Sunrise are plaster over lath. A dormer or a chimney leak wets the attic, then the lath, then the ceiling lets go all at once. Flat-roof walk-ups fail at the drain and stain a top-floor suite. The West End stains from a stack. The repair is not paint.
Lath that lets go
We score and take the wet plaster down on purpose. The bay above gets the wet fill removed. Heat without drying cups the fir in the same room, so the ceiling job and the floor job are one plan when the water ran.
Dormers and chimneys
The hole is at the roof detail. The stain is in a bedroom that is not under it. We open the wet bay, not the brown ring. Marpole's lower roofs do this with less attic to buffer the drip.
Walk-up drains
A blocked flat-roof drain puts water across a top-floor ceiling and into a wall. We want that drain cleared the same day or the new board is a waste. The suite below may already have a mark.
Do not poke it
Plaster falls heavier than board. Stay out from under a bulge in a Mount Pleasant dining room. We open it. A fan does not put plaster back.
