Signs of Water Damage in Plaster

Water damage is often easy to miss until it becomes a serious problem. Here’s what to look for:

  • Yellow or brown stains on walls or ceilings
  • Bubbling or blistering paint
  • Cracks forming in the plaster surface
  • Sagging or soft areas in ceilings
  • Visible mould, mildew, or damp smells
  • Pieces of plaster crumbling or falling off

If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately to avoid further damage.

Common Causes of Plaster Water Damage

Plaster is highly absorbent and can weaken quickly when exposed to moisture. Some of the most common causes of water damage include:

  • Leaking roofs or damaged tiles
  • Burst or leaking plumbing pipes
  • Overflowing gutters or blocked downpipes
  • Poor bathroom waterproofing
  • Air-conditioning condensation

Our Water Damage Repair Process

  1. Assessment & Leak Detection
    We inspect the area to determine the extent of water damage and help locate the source if needed.

  2. Removal of Damaged Plaster
    Any wet, soft, or crumbling plaster is carefully removed. We also remove mould and treat the area for damp.

  3. Drying & Treatment
    The surface is allowed to dry thoroughly and treated to prevent future mould growth or dampness.

  4. Re-sheeting or Re-plastering
    We install new plasterboard or re-skim the surface using high-grade materials.

  5. Finishing & Painting
    Once dry, the area is sanded, blended, and repainted to match the surrounding wall or ceiling.
