Chinese drywall mystery solved!
Chinese drywall mystery? Sulfur smell and corrosion tests negative for Chinese Drywall. I received a call from a realtor that stated a house that was on the market had been flagged during the routine home inspection after the buyers offer had been accepted. The inspector had found black corrosion on copper water lines and there was a strong smell of sulphur in the house is what caused him write "Possible Chinese drywall" in his inspection report. So until this home was inspected by a chinese drywall expert this sale was on hold if not lost. So I proceeded to ask all the usual questions when I get contacted about Chinese drywall. What year was the house built? Realtor say's: 2001 Have there been any renovations or any type of drywall repairs or ceiling repairs? Realtor: Yes a kitchen remodel Is there any visible corrosion?

Water damage drywall repair and orange peel texture match
This water damage drywall repair and texture matching project is in the Cloisters subdivision of Indialantic, Fl. We were contacted by a past customer to do a drywall repair on the already cut out and dried out the water damaged walls in two of the guest bedrooms of their home. Water had got the drywall wet on the one exterior wall in each of the two guest bedrooms of this four bedroom home here in Brevard County. Once we arrived the drywall had already been cutout up to the window sill around 20" in one bedroom and at 16" on the other bedrooms wall. The base board and carpet had been removed by the water restoration company when the plumbing leak had first occurred. So, all we had to do to get this drywall repair party started, was to prep the floors and cover personal items with plastic. Next, I used the paper masking machine to cover the window sills and bi-fold doors … [Read More...]
Water damage drywall repair after washers water hose bursts in Merritt Island
On this Merritt Island water damage drywall repair project I was contacted by the homeowner after their washer water line had leaked in the laundry room. Damaging one wall directly behind the washer and dryer. Since this leak happened in the middle of the night a 24 hour water restoration emergency service company had already come out to remove all of the water damage drywall, insulation and flooring. They also dried out all of the wood framing and tile flooring. Luckily this water was a cleaned up before any mold could start to grow. The damage at this home could've been so much worse.

These types of plumbing disasters can result in thousands of dollars worth of damage and plenty of frustrations to go along with it! After the plumber did the necessary repairs to the washers hoses the … [Read More...]

Pool Patio Ceiling Repair – Tape Joints Coming Down – Merritt Island
This Project Blog is about a exterior pool patio ceiling repair on a home in the Indian Bay sub division Merritt Island, FL. This type of problem is very common on exterior ceilings. Over time the paper drywall tape begins to fail. The heat and humidity from the Florida climate and the added moisture in the air around a pool cause the tape to crack and start falling down. Over the years I have perfected the technique and best materials to use on these types of exterior ceilings. 1) Cover and protect the pool/patio deck. 2) We removed all of the paper tape from all of the drywall seams. 3) I like to re secure the drywall at all of the seams, just in case the drywall wasn't secured properly during the drywall installation phase when the home was built. 4) Install fiberglass mesh drywall tape to all of the exposed seams (much more exterior friendly than the drywall paper tape). 5) … [Read More...]
