Kitchen ceiling after an upstairs bathroom leak
Plumber had already stopped the leak upstairs. We opened the stained section, confirmed the framing was dry, patched, skim-coated, primed, and repainted the full ceiling so there was no visible seam.
The plumber fixes the pipe. We fix the ceiling. Post-leak wall and ceiling restoration that disappears into the rest of the room.
What BETEP is known for
The plumber fixes the pipe. We fix the ceiling. Post-leak wall and ceiling restoration that disappears into the rest of the room.
A stopped leak is only half the job. What's left is the part you actually see every day: brown rings, bubbled paint, soft spots, and drywall tape lifting off the ceiling. This is the work we specialize in, bringing the surface back so completely that no one can tell where the damage was.
What this covers
What we'll refer out
Drag the handle to compare. A proper restoration leaves no ridge, no ghost ring, and no seam to find later.
Each layer of a proper post-leak restoration, in order. On mobile this reads as a simple numbered checklist.
We check moisture behind the surface. If it's still wet, we don't bury the problem, we let it dry or open it up.
Stained, soft, or delaminated drywall comes out until we reach material that's sound.
New board is fitted, screwed off, taped, and set, flush with the surrounding plane.
Multiple thin coats of compound, sanded smooth, feathered wide so the repair has no ridge.
A stain-blocking primer locks out old water rings so they can't ghost back through the paint.
We paint the whole wall or ceiling, corner to corner, so the fix vanishes into the room.
A representative project. Photos are honest placeholders until we have real ones from this job.

Every job is scoped in person and quoted before work starts, no surprise line items, no “while we were in there.”
