Water Damage Drywall Repair in Schertz & Cibolo, TX

Water Damage Drywall Repair in Schertz & Cibolo, TX

New homes aren't immune to leaks. A supply-line break or roof leak in a Crossvine or Homestead build needs the same careful cut-out, dry, and rebuild as an older house.

We remove the damaged drywall, dry the cavity, replace insulation where needed, then re-hang, tape, float, texture, and repaint to match your builder's finish. Fast turnaround matters for move-in and resale timelines, and we provide documentation for insurance or builder-warranty claims.

On slab-on-grade new construction throughout Schertz and Cibolo, soil settling in the first year or two occasionally causes a pinhole leak in the plumbing lines under the slab. Those leaks often show up first as damp baseboards, a warm spot on the floor, or slightly warped flooring near an exterior wall, not necessarily a wet drywall stain right away.

By the time drywall damage is visible, water may have been tracking up inside the wall cavity for a while, so we check higher than the visible damage and confirm the cavity is fully dry before closing anything back up.

Upstairs laundry rooms and water heaters

Newer two-story homes here often put the laundry room upstairs and a water heater or AC air handler in the attic, which is convenient right up until something leaks. A split washer hose, a clogged drain or a failing water heater upstairs sends water straight down into the ceiling of the room below, and it can spread across the ceiling before anyone sees a stain.

A drain pan under the washer, braided steel supply hoses and a leak alarm are cheap insurance. If it has already happened, turn off the water, keep everyone out from under a sagging ceiling, and photograph the damage before anything is removed. The wet ceiling board is cut out, the joists are dried, and the ceiling is rebuilt and textured to match. See when wet drywall can be saved.
