Drywall Repair in Cincinnati

There is a wide range of strategies for professional drywall repair. Cincinnati, OH, homeowners may need a small patching job to fix a nail hole. On the other hand, medium-sized holes require taping and patching, whereas holes larger than six inches require a replacement panel with supporting wood strips.

Cincinnati drywall repair services are very comprehensive, and our local experts follow each small step to the dot because that's how it should be done, without leaving any loose ends. We always begin with a full inspection, during which we measure the overall efficiency of your existing wall. Property owners are often unaware that they may have outdated insulation or inadequate air sealing. Our Cincinnati drywall repair experts can also tell if the initial installation service was done properly.

Common damaged drywall issues we handle include:

Hole Damage: From popped nails to accidents, at least this type of damage is easy to examine and doesn’t always require detailed inspection. Small holes are easily fixed with a little drywall tape and joint compound. On the other hand, nail pops need to be tapped back into the wall stud and need an additional screw to provide extra support. A hole larger than six inches will be cut into a square so that we can fit a replacement drywall sheet.

Cracks: Interior wall cracks or stress cracks are common during house settlement when the corners of your home are settling into the foundation. While these cracks are easy to repair, our Cincinnati drywall repair specialist still recommends that you hire a foundation specialist for a more detailed inspection to ensure your home foundation is safe. Severe vertical cracks are an indication of a bad settlement and require immediate repair. Check for foundation cracks in your siding and wall cracks in the basement. If you find them, you may have foundation damage. Cracks can occur due to improper installation as well and can range from a small hairline fracture to a full-blown 3-foot crack. Because cracks in your drywall can point towards more serious issues, it's always a good idea to hire a professional to take a look at your walls and home instead of tackling a DIY fix yourself.

Water Stains & Damage: Moisture is your enemy when it comes to drywall longevity. But plumbing issues like water line leaks are very damaging to your walls and interior components like insulation. That is when a replacement is imperative. Due to drywall's paper-like nature, it absorbs water easily. This is one of the reasons it is so important to stay on top of priming and painting your walls. Even the high humidity of your bathroom can affect them. If you do have water-damaged drywall, it will show up as a discolored, soft patch. We'll need to remove this patch before the water spreads even further throughout your walls. Doing so will help prevent moisture from reaching your insulation, which may mold. Once mold sets in, it can spread like wildfire.

Rodent and Termite Damage: It may strike you as weird that termites are also attracted to drywall. But since it contains paper material, they will happily consume it along with wood. However, if you hear mice in your walls, they might have found access via nooks and crannies and chewed their way into the core. In this case, you must contact pest control services. Afterward, our Cincinnati drywall repair team will carefully assess your wall’s condition and the larger holes and determine which parts need to be cut out and replaced. If we do find pests, we can recommend a reliable pest extermination company to help resolve this issue too.
