Restoring Plaster After Moisture Exposure
Discolored patches, raised surfaces, or powdery material often develop when water penetrates walls or ceilings. These signs indicate the plaster has lost cohesion and must be addressed after the leak is stopped.
The damaged zone is dried thoroughly, loose material removed, and new plaster applied in layers to match surrounding thickness. Breathable finishes allow any residual moisture to escape without trapping it behind the surface.
Walls and ceilings regain uniform strength and appearance. Owners should confirm the water source is fixed before requesting plaster work. Contact (833) 874-1801 for an assessment in Irvington, NJ.
