Roof leaks, plumbing failures, and HVAC condensation all show up the same way on commercial drywall: staining, bubbling, or soft spots that spread if they're ignored. Star Drywall Repair removes the affected section, confirms the area is dry, and rebuilds the wall or ceiling so the damage doesn't come back under a fresh coat of paint.
This is a drywall repair service, not a mold remediation or restoration company, so we scope the job to removing and replacing affected material and treating what's directly exposed during that work.
What's included
What's Included with Commercial Water Damage Repair
Typically included: moisture testing of the affected area, removal of damaged drywall, drying confirmation before rebuild, new drywall installation, and finish matching to surrounding walls or ceiling.
Optional: mold-resistant board where the section sits near plumbing, extended drying time with dehumidifiers for larger affected areas.
Customer prep: confirm the source of the leak has been fixed or is being addressed, clear the area of equipment or inventory before the visit.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Commercial Water Damage Repair
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| A very small, already-dry stain on a non-structural wall might be fine to repaint | Confirming the area is actually dry before closing the wall prevents hidden mold growth |
| Not advisable for anything connected to an active or recent leak | Commercial-scale drying equipment speeds up the process compared to waiting it out |
| — | Proper material selection near plumbing reduces the chance of repeat damage |

Commercial Water Damage Repair FAQs
How much does commercial water damage repair cost in Star?
Cost depends on the size of the affected area, how long it takes to dry out, and whether mold-resistant board is needed. A site visit gives an accurate range.
Do you handle mold remediation?
Our scope covers drywall removal, drying confirmation, and treating directly exposed material. Significant mold growth beyond the drywall itself should go to a remediation specialist first.
How do I know if the area is dry enough to repair?
We use a moisture meter to confirm the wall or ceiling has dried before any new drywall goes up, rather than guessing from how it looks.
What if the leak source isn't fixed yet?
We recommend addressing the leak first. Repairing drywall over an active leak just means repeating the repair later.
How long before the space is usable again?
Most jobs run 3-5 days from inspection to paint-ready, depending on how much drying time the affected area needs.
Can you match the repaired section to the rest of the wall?
We match texture and paint to the surrounding commercial finish so the repair isn't visible once complete.
