Shower Ceiling Drywall Repair in Chandler, AZ

Introduction

Proper materials and installation are critical in high-moisture areas like bathrooms. Craftsman Consulting recently resolved a collapsed shower ceiling caused by improper drywall use in Chandler, AZ. By replacing the ceiling with water-resistant drywall and addressing ventilation issues, we ensured the space would stand the test of time.

The Problem

The previous contractor failed to use water-resistant drywall on the shower ceiling, resulting in steam damage over time. The ceiling absorbed moisture, ultimately collapsing after a year of regular use.

Our Solution

Craftsman Consulting provided a comprehensive repair plan:

1. Removing the Damaged Ceiling

• Safely cut out the remaining collapsed ceiling.
• Cleared debris and inspected the area for additional issues.

2. Framing and Insulation Replacement

• Reframed the open hole to prepare for new drywall installation.
• Replaced damaged insulation for better energy efficiency and moisture control.

3. Exhaust Fan Duct Repair

• Discovered that the bathroom exhaust fan duct was improperly vented.
• Reattached and secured the duct to ensure proper airflow out of the house.

4. Installing Water-Resistant Drywall

• Installed moisture-resistant drywall suitable for the shower environment.
• Taped and floated the joints to create a smooth, level surface.

5. Texturing, Priming, and Painting

• Applied texture to blend the new ceiling with the existing one.
• Primed and painted the ceiling for a clean, uniform finish.

Final Outcome

The bathroom ceiling was restored to a durable, water-resistant condition. The exhaust fan now vents correctly, preventing future moisture buildup. This repair not only resolved the immediate issue but also safeguarded the bathroom against future problems.
