Do I need to worry about asbestos when repairing drywall in an older New Westminster home?

If your home was built before around 1990, the joint compound, skim coats, and some finishes may contain asbestos, so you will need to have them tested before anyone cuts, sands, or demolishes the wall. According to WorkSafeBC, asbestos-related diseases remain the leading cause of work-related deaths in British Columbia, and homeowners are urged to test for the substance before renovations or demolition. As a homeowner, you are required to have your drywall tested by a licensed asbestos surveyor and abatement contractor. Our drywall experts in New Westminster are happy to take on your drywall work, but request that you ensure your walls are not asbestos-based for their safety and yours. New Westminster's older homes are beautiful, but they need to be treated properly by a professional.

How long can I expect quality drywall repair services in New Westminster to take?

It will depend on the extent of the damage and the kind of drywall needed for your drywall project. For minor repairs, the job can usually be completed within a few hours, while more significant damage can take several days to fix. Nail pops and minor repairs are often completed in a single visit. Whereas sections of damaged drywall panels require multiple coats of compound, which take several visits over a few days to allow for drying and sanding. Due to New Westminster's damp winter weather, drying times for joint compound and paint can be longer than in drier areas, especially if ventilation is limited. Our team offers comprehensive repairs, and given New Westminster's climate, they account for humidity when providing timeline estimates.

Is damaged drywall a structural problem for my home?

For most homes, drywall is a non-structural interior finish, meaning cosmetic damage alone does not typically affect your home's structural integrity. However, it can hide more serious issues such as leaks, rot, or shifting framing. It is recommended that you identify these issues early, as moisture damage can create serious health and safety risks. Fixing drywall cracks near known areas of water intrusion, musty odours, or sagging ceilings is particularly important in New Westminster's wet and cold winters. Repeated drywall cracks often appear in locations where there is hidden damage, so don't wait, get in touch with our team for a drywall repair. New Westminster can trust our professionals to uncover all the hidden damage around their property. Our team in New Westminster offers comprehensive solutions for all manner of drywall damage.
