[@kenseymour5152]

A little tip to home owners if you get a leak in a ceiling as soon as you notice put a whole in it so it doesn’t spread across the whole board it can prevent the sheet from bowing and falling the water spreads and starts soaking the drywall causing it to turn soft and the screws pull loose

[@cry2urmom757]

Reading that gave me a headache 😔

[@JoeKing67.]

First! You must fix leak!

[@kenseymour5152]

@@JoeKing67. of course the leak has to be fixed I just stated that if you come across a leak in your ceiling just put a hole in the drywall if not the water spreads across the whole board and causes the paper backing to start letting water into the gypsum and it turns back into mud and the whole board will sag and finally collapse if you put a whole in it and let it drip into a pal then all you have to fix is the hole that you put into it not the whole ceiling. In some cases you will have to take the board down to fix the problem

[@JT_70]

Water stain is over a bed so can’t put a hole in the drywall and allow it to drip. I put a bucket in the attic to catch the drip but we found the damage too late. One of 4 rooms with ceiling damage from separate roof leaks.

[@jorgecampa57]

Great video Paul. I do ceiling repairs in condominium buildings. Most leaks are caused by a leaking bathtub drain or toilet wax ring leaks. I use a oscillating multitool to cut the plaster coated stucco ceiling. Then I use the wood and cut it 4 inches longer on each side of the repair . I also use a thin drill bit to make pilot holes to screw the wood to the ceiling so the plaster won’t crack. Then I screw the new drywall using shims to level the repair and make it flush with the rest of the ceiling. Afterwards I bed the mash tape with 20 minute mud. After the mud sets up I give it a second coat of 20 minute mud through the rest of the repair extending the mud 12 inches from the repair. The third and fourth coats I use 90 minute mud very thinned out so I can skim coat the rest of the repair. I let it dry well between each coat. On the third day I sanded prime it and paint it. Thank you for sharing your techniques specially the skip trowel finish.

[@adamames6907]

I am a contractor. Love your tricks. Sometimes we get so stuck in out ways its difficult to see a different method until someone else shows us. Hence we learn. Over my carreer in the trades i have probably done the most of drywall finishing, and drywall repairs can be the worst to finish properly and match existing finish, like there was no repair in the first place, thats the goal. Its much easier to finish new drywall. I appreciate you sharing your experience with everyone who wants to know and doing a great job in the process. you tha man! Fyi you have sold me on the fibafuse. I am used to using mesh tape with a hot mud, but if i can get a flatter tape that fuses better with the mud, those who finish drywall know thats the way to go. Keep it up man!

Nice video. I recently bought a house and have lived in it for about 2 years now. recent storms caused my ceiling to leak. I called a contractor out and since its a extension and I was unsure about permit history he told me insurance would not cover and that to fix roof section and inside of the room would cost me $12k. I said good bye. And thats what lead me here. I am hoping to be able to do most work on my own and this video has given me some confidence.

[@jonstrembicki8546]

I am a 68-year-old DIY and next week I have to do the exact same repair in my daughters' condo garage as her A/C condensate was not draining and when I had cleared the clog, the water overflowed the T junction and got the ceiling soaked. So I had to take out the section of drywall that was soaked along with the insulation and install a longer verticle drain pipe to prevent the rush of water from the A/C condensate bin from overflowing. That repair went extremely well, but now I need to replace the section of drywall that I took out and replace it with a new section, just like you just did! I have always been able to cover screw heads with mud but when it comes to filling in gaps, I haven't been that successful! I will try to track down the same tape that you used in the video and give it a try...again! Sometimes this old dog just is past any new training!

[@kiano_84]

this guy knows what he’s doing. good work! Quick tip: don’t be afraid to open up your patches with more mud too the sides, most of the times there will be a border and to erase that border so it can look flat and smooth as possible I recommend opening it wider.

I came across your video after waking up to a flooded bathroom on my second floor which damaged the first floor ceiling. About 3 feet of the ceiling cracked in a straight line.. I also have some water marks and a few big bubbles. I plan to wait until the area is dried before starting the repairs etc. Your video is on track and it is very helpful to me. This is also my first time so I will be watching your video a few times over and over. Thanks again for your very detailed instructions. PS. I just replaced the water supply valve and the floatation device in the toilet tank - these two culprits are responsible for the damage, smile.

Great video! I appreciate the step-by-step approach. It’s helpful for anyone looking to tackle a similar project. Thanks for sharing

DIY'er when I have to. You make it look easy.

[@limpfinger12]

Doing the exact same thing right now. Ice dam caused the ceiling to leak, so I'm saving about a grand doing it myself

You weren't coughing enough to be a drywall guy. Like the feathering technique. Excellent video

[@PaulPeck]

Haha.😂 Thanks for watching and commenting!👍🏻

[@ElizabethJansen-t5g]

This is a great video that really covers this task thoroughly. I'm a DIY'er who initially found this daunting but learned with patience, and a little trial and error that I could do this myself.

[@PaulPeck]

That’s great! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!💥👍🏻😎

[@PaulPeck]

Hey there Neil!💥👊🏻 Yeah man the rag does the trick for sure! I really appreciate that man! Haha... Definitely different flavors of paint!!!😆 -Paul

Love your video, I own rentals. There’s always a seam crack, something that needs repaired before painting. I’m still trying to master texture.

[@PaulPeck]

I really appreciate that Muskogee!🙏 Texturing takes some practice but you’ll get it! Thanks for watching and commenting my friend!😎 -Paul

Great work.No way would I be able to do half as nice a job as you did. Can never tell there was water damage .

[@bigmex8794]

Amazing video. I’m a diyer. I own my own home so videos like this are a HUGE help. I currently have a whole in my kitchen ceiling that needs to be taped and floated. Now that I’ve watched this I’m much more confident that I’ll be able to do it. Thanks for the video.

[@channelv5085]

You are awesome!! I’m a first time property investor. I purchased a duplex. It’s been super fun trying to find great contractors that I ended up having to do a lot of the projects myself! I wish I would have seen this prior, I patched a leak in my ceiling and totally botched it, lol yikes… now I know the correct way to have this done in the future! You rock sir! Thank you 😊

[@jimcunning5694]

What’s the final coat made up of, you mentioned something about sand?

[@crystalrabbon]

So, some guy saw his wife’s no sew hemming tape and thought, “I can so use that to fix the drywall!!” 😂

[@elvaledecolima]

Patches are so hard to hide .... i think the best thing to do is skim the whole lid and re texture

[@PaulPeck]

Totally agree Dave. Check this ceiling project out: kzbin.info/aero/PL7Ww-LhWbB0F8fOEwjAbiJyT6YYFERvUL I always give my customers several options. Some are looking for a Cadillac and others are looking for a Pinto... Haha.😂

[@anthonyroth7478]

DIY person here. Had a similar situation in my closet. Will be watching this several times while I do my patch job. Thanks so much.
