Replace water-damaged drywall after the leak is handled
Water can damage board and finish after a leak or moisture event. Replacing the drywall before the source is resolved can put the repair ahead of the drying or mitigation work that the responsible provider needs to complete.
After the moisture source is addressed, Solis replaces damaged board and restores the requested texture or finish. Leak repair and mitigation stay with the responsible provider; the drywall work can then bring the affected wall back through board replacement and surface preparation.
- Damaged board replaced after moisture work is complete.
- Texture or finish restored with the repair.

- 48 sq ftORCAA notification threshold in Thurston County

- Tumwater homes built before 1980

Set the repair boundary after the leak is handled
We start once the leak is repaired and the area is dry. A stain on sound board may only need sealing and paint. Soft, swollen or crumbling board comes out. Tell us what has already been cut away, and we'll price the opening that's left.
Replace board where a surface patch cannot hold
Where the board is broken or swollen, we cut back to solid material and fit a new piece. The joints are taped and feathered into the wall or ceiling, then textured or left smooth to match. Board that only has a stain stays if it is still firm.

Before cutting into an older Tumwater wall
One in three Tumwater homes predates 1980, and joint compound could contain asbestos until EPA's 1977 ban. Washington makes the owner arrange an inspection before work that could disturb asbestos. Drying, mold cleanup and any asbestos removal come before us; we handle the drywall after.

Water-Damage Drywall Repair questions in Tumwater
Can damaged drywall be repaired before the leak is fixed?
No. The leak gets fixed and the area dried first, or the new board will be damaged the same way.
Does this service include mold cleanup or drying?
No. A restoration company handles drying and mold. We rebuild and finish the drywall after their work is done.
