Texture is matched to the existing ceiling, and the pros explain how close the match will be.

Indicators You Need Ceiling Water Extraction in Your Ceiling

Crumbling or Soft Drywall

Ceiling drywall that crumbles or feels soft has lost its strength and needs to be removed.

Dripping Sounds Behind Walls

Dripping sounds inside walls below a ceiling leak can mean water is running down the wall cavity.

Stains Around Light Fixtures

Stains around light fixtures and vents mean water is following wiring or ductwork down.

Bulging or Sagging Ceiling Drywall

A ceiling that bulges or droops is full of water and can fall. Keep everyone out from under it.

Step 3: Ceiling Cavity Drying
