Types of plaster damage

Many of our customers wonder what the basic repair procedure for different problem areas. Here is a short list of the most common issues we come across in the Regional Municipality of Durha area. All repairs are started with a cleaning and prep of the area.

Cracks in plaster - cracks often happen because the plaster has shifted away from the wood behind it (known as lathe). We make small holes and reattach the plaster to the lathe, fill in the crack and make the wall smooth again.

Bulges in plaster – depending on the severity of the bulge the plaster may be repaired like a crack or the plaster will have to be removed and reapplied as with hole repair.

Holes in plaster – if the lathe behind the plaster is in good condition, then you must first reattach the plaster around the hole to the lathe. Once the existing plaster is solidly reconnected then you can begin applying new plaster to the wall and cover up the hole. When finished the surface will be smooth and ready to paint.
