Stop Water Damage Before It Spreads

Premier Home Updates provides drywall water restoration services throughout El Paso to repair storm and water damage quickly.

Water damage in your El Paso home shows up as discolored patches on walls, soft spots near baseboards, or ceilings that sag after a storm. You may notice paint bubbling, drywall turning dark along the edges, or a musty smell that gets stronger over time. When moisture sits inside your walls, it weakens the structure and creates conditions that support mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.

Premier Home Updates inspects your property in El Paso to identify the source of the water intrusion, then removes damaged sections of drywall, dries out the framing and insulation, and rebuilds the wall surfaces to match your existing finish. This service addresses leaks from plumbing failures, roof damage, burst pipes, and storm flooding that saturates interior walls. We work with both residential and commercial properties, and we respond to emergency calls when time matters most.

If you see water stains spreading across your walls or ceiling in El Paso, contact us to schedule an inspection and prevent further damage.

What Happens During Water Damage Repair

When you call Premier Home Updates in El Paso, we start by locating where the water entered your walls and checking whether the source is still active. We use moisture meters to measure saturation levels behind the drywall and identify areas that need to be opened up. Once the water source is controlled, we cut away wet or crumbling sections, expose the studs and insulation, and set up fans or dehumidifiers to dry out the cavity completely.

After drying, you will see bare studs where the damaged drywall was removed, and the surrounding wall surface will be intact and dry. We install new drywall panels, tape and mud the seams, sand them smooth, and apply primer and paint to blend the repair into the rest of the room. The finished wall will be solid, dry, and free of visible water stains or soft spots.

We do not provide plumbing or roofing repairs, but we coordinate with other trades if the water source requires attention before we begin restoration. Our focus is on returning your walls and ceilings to a safe, stable condition after water has already caused damage. This work prepares your property for normal use again and stops deterioration that would otherwise continue.

Questions You Might Have About Water Damage

Homeowners and business owners in El Paso often want to know how quickly we can respond, what signs indicate serious damage, and whether their walls can be saved or need full replacement.

How quickly should I call after noticing water damage?

You should call as soon as you see water stains, soft drywall, or active leaking. Waiting more than 48 hours increases the risk of mold growth and structural weakening inside your walls.

What tools do you use to check for hidden moisture?

We use pin-type and pinless moisture meters to measure water content behind the drywall surface without tearing into every section. This helps us identify which areas need to be opened and which can stay intact.

When do you remove drywall versus drying it in place?

If the drywall is soft, crumbling, or heavily stained, we remove it to access the framing and prevent mold. If it is only damp and still structurally sound, we may dry it in place with air movers and dehumidifiers.

What does the wall look like after you finish the repair?

The repaired section will have new drywall installed, taped, sanded, and painted to match the surrounding wall. You will not see seams, stains, or texture differences once the work is complete.

Why is acting fast important after a storm or leak?

Water continues to spread through drywall and insulation even after the leak stops, and mold can begin forming within one to two days. Acting quickly limits the area that needs repair and reduces health risks in your home.

Premier Home Updates responds to water damage calls throughout El Paso, including emergency situations where delays can lead to worse conditions. If your walls are wet, discolored, or sagging after a storm or plumbing failure, reach out to schedule an inspection and start the restoration process.
