Living Room Ceiling Leak & Popcorn Texture Repair in Travis Heights, Austin

A roof leak opened a hole in a living room ceiling with an older popcorn finish. We contained the room, repaired the drywall and matched the texture.

The Challenge

The ceiling had an older popcorn texture, so the finish had to be tested before any sanding or scraping, and the room was fully furnished.

Our Solution

After the existing texture tested negative for asbestos, we sealed the living room with plastic, removed the damaged section, dried the cavity and installed a new drywall patch. The patch was taped, feathered and sprayed with matching popcorn texture, then the ceiling was painted.

• Asbestos testing of existing popcorn texture
• Room containment to protect furniture
• Drying of the ceiling cavity
• Drywall patch and feathered finish
• Matched popcorn texture and paint
