Drywall Wet?

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

With all the storms, your house may have suffered. If you have a leak, water could go down to your ceiling and even down your walls. This water helps encourage mold growth in your walls. The longer your drywall is wet, the more dangerous it is because mold loves wet drywall.

Drywall can become wet several ways ranging from water pipes leaking, to rain water getting in through neglected caulking around windows and doors.
If you see mold on your drywall, you need to have it checked out. But, first you need to have someone find the source of the wetness. If the source of the water isn’t found and fixed, replacing the drywall would be a waste of money.

Keep your family safe. Call Leinbach Services Inc if you see any mold. A technician will come out and find the source of your water leak, fix it and repair your drywall.

Priming Drywall

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Bare drywall should always be primed before being painted. Most drywall primers are water-based and they are relatively inexpensive and will not lift the paper of the drywall. The purpose of priming is to seal the surface of the drywall and joint compound. This helps ensure that the finish coat will have a uniform appearance.

Before you prime drywall, remember to clean the surfaces of all dust that has resulted from sanding the joints. A broom can be handy for this purpose. If you fail to clean the dust from the wall adequately it can cause the paint to lift the primer.

When you are priming your new drywall with don’t expect it to cover like paint. It’s suppose to behave more like a sealer than a traditional primer. For better possible results, figure on one coat of primer and two coats of finish color.
A good primer can promote a uniform finish and cover between 250 to 400 sq. ft. per gallon depending on the surface texture, porosity and application method. Light colors in a flat or eggshell finish can also aid in hiding imperfections. Darker colors and higher sheen levels (such as semi-gloss and gloss) can emphasize surface imperfections

Drywall Finishing Information

Monday, November 8th, 2010

There are many home improvement television shows that have said how easy it is to finish drywall. Well, it is easy if you know all of the tricks and have had considerable practice. If you don’t, you struggle. Drywall finishing is not as simple as driving a nail or cutting a piece of wood. It takes lots of skill to get professional results.
Wipe It Off

One of the neat things about finishing drywall is that if you goof up applying the mud you can immediately erase your mistake and start over. All you do is wipe off the mud from the seam. The only aspect of the process that is critical is the actual taping. Too much or too little mud under the tape can cause all sorts of finishing problems later in the job.

Professionals tape drywall in any number of ways. They can use a device called a banjo that applies mud to the underside of the tape as it is pulled from the simple hand held machine. Even more complex machines can apply tape and a coat of mud to a wall in one operation. But if a pro is doing it like you will be, they apply the mud smoothly and at a thickness of approximately 1/4 inch. The tape is then pressed lightly to the wet mud. When you glide your knife over this relatively smooth assembly, the excess mud flows easily out from beneath the tape.
