Tom's Drywall & Plasterboard Construction in Janesville, WI | Drywall Repair & Water Damage Restoration

Heavy rains and flooding from tropical storms can cause water to seep through foundations, leaky roofs, or burst windows. In Janesville, homes near the Rock River or in low-lying areas are especially vulnerable. The water saturates drywall, causing it to swell, bubble, and eventually grow mold if not addressed quickly.

Look for discolored patches, bubbling or peeling paint, a musty odor, or walls that feel soft or spongy to the touch. You might also see dark water rings or cracks. If you notice these signs after a storm, it's important to get a professional assessment to prevent structural issues and mold.

We start by removing all damaged drywall and insulation to prevent mold growth. After drying the area completely, we install new drywall, tape, mud, and sand until smooth. Then we apply a matching wall finish or texture. For hardwood floors affected by water, we coordinate with flooring specialists to ensure a complete restoration.
