What does water damage on a plaster ceiling look like?

• <div><p>Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.</p></div>

Q: What is the life span of plaster walls?

• <div><p>Plaster walls last 30 to 70 years, although expertly applied and well-maintained plaster can last for centuries. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to leave plaster installation to a pro, treat cracks as needed, and have a pro inspect any concerning cracks as soon as possible. These efforts can greatly extend the life of your plaster walls for decades to come.</p></div>

Q: Will my insurance cover ceiling collapse repairs?

• <div><p>Generally, your homeowner&rsquo;s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.</p></div>

Q: Can you mix plaster types?

• <div><p>You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.</p><p>Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.</p></div>

Q: Can you use drywall repair techniques on plaster?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials. </p></div>

They actually installed two windows where there hadn’t been any & did some repairs on my garage. They were excellent! Came on time, worked through the day, paid attention to every detail, did a great job and cleaned up afterwards - for a reasonable price. I recommend them highly.
