Project Overview
This project involved diagnosing the source of a ceiling leak in a South Philadelphia home, repairing the underlying plumbing issue, and restoring the damaged ceiling to a clean, finished condition.
Rather than applying a surface-only patch, the repair focused on identifying and resolving the cause of the leak first, then rebuilding the ceiling so the finished repair would last and blend seamlessly with the surrounding area.
Scope of Work
The work for this ceiling repair project included:
Identifying the source of the leaking pipe
Completing the necessary plumbing repair
Removing damaged ceiling material
Installing proper backing where needed
Patching and rebuilding the ceiling in stages
Blending the repair to match the surrounding ceiling surface
Care was taken to protect the surrounding space and limit dust and disruption during the repair.
Results
The leaking pipe was successfully repaired and the ceiling was restored to a smooth, finished appearance. Once complete, the repaired area blended with the existing ceiling and did not draw attention.
By addressing both the plumbing issue and the ceiling repair in one coordinated scope, the client avoided repeat damage and future failure.
