Not a contractor or anything like that. But I’m 30 years old and I just bought my first house and I like to watch ur videos on things I’m trying to do and it really helps! Thanks so much for uploading!
I'm a DYIer. I love how you call the room you made the "Dust Containment Bubble"
I’m the boy in the bubble Scott! Haha...😂
I’ve been in construction since 1989. Thanks for putting on a very explanatory video to remove a section of drywall from the ceiling. My young daughter will do this repair tonight and I will show her this video. 👍
Jeez. I was sneezing just watching it. Good video. Can't wait to see part 2!
Here’s another great water damaged drywall ceiling repair video series: czcams.com/play/PL7Ww-LhWbB0EpUPC_6Wau5Jnzakor32Zy.html I also show how to match a crows foot/stomp texture on a water damaged wall repair too. Thanks for watching! -Paul
I’m a disabled Grandmother who needs to repair my leaky hallway :). Great video. Thx God bless :)
Hey, Paul! Good timing. I am doing a neighbor's utility room that had a roof leak. 5/8 inch. Used an oscillating tool to cut thru. I did the small piece to check for wires and not only a 12 gauge wire but a propane gas pipe for a fireplace was above that section. Wise to shallow cut and make inspection hole as you did.
Hey Martin!💥👊🏻 Yes, you never know what’s up in a ceiling that’s for sure. Thanks for stopping by bro!😎 -Paul
Awesome video Paul! This is such a common occurrence. My husband is a Property Manager and every year 1 or 2 will have a ceiling leak. This is a very useful video for many.
Thank you Suzy!🙏 I call that job security! Haha... I really appreciate you watching and commenting my friend!😎 -Paul
Hey Paul. As I told you in the Nimmin Live chat, I've been doing some updating of our home. I've been removing popcorn texture from ceilings, repairing a few old wet spots in the ceiling, and now I am drywalling a partition wall in our basement. I have old drywall experience, but I am about 25 years rusty, so I appreciate the refresher and tips you share. 👍👍
Love this Ron! I really appreciate you watching and your feedback! Let me know if you run into any questions along the way my friend!👍🏻😎 -Paul
Just followed the same steps and it worked perfectly
That’s awesome!💥 Thank you for letting me know!!👏🏻😎
Thank you for this informative video! I am a DIYer. I have a ceiling patch repair I need to do but I've not done ceilings before so wasn't sure I would attempt to do it myself. I think I will now!
I'm a middle aged female and don't think I'd have the strength to cut the drywall over my head with a blade like you did but one of the comments below suggested using an oscillating tool so I'm going to try that instead. I appreciated all of the details about how you determined where to cut.
You can get a small saw as well if you have issues with the razor blade. I am gonna pick up a oscillating tool. That seems the easiest for me and its is as low as $69.99 for a good enough one for this. GOOD LUCK 😁
This is awesome! I have a big hole in my garage, I will need to repair. This truly helps! Thank you!
Thank you, this helped me a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Not a pro, just an old woman trying to diy her bathroom ceiling.
Just a father trying to learn and keep the house in order. I really appreciate everything your teaching.
Thank you for this as I have to perform this exact procedure in a friends bedroom. Have a good day

Hi thanks so much for the video. I'm attempting to replace my AC duct work and some of the vents are installed in a way that i must take out pieces of drywall in the ceiling. Thanks so much for these videos!!!!
I planning to fix the ceiling in my bathroom ,it's was water damage just above my shower head. I will follow the way you did it and hope this project won't be going for to long.

Could you please make a video on how you replaced the part you cut out? Thanks 💕
DIY for me, Its great to watch a Pro,Thanks so much, I will be watching more,,,,,
We just had to fix our house after hurricane laura. A tree fell on our roof and damaged the ceiling in 3 rooms. Im on the last room and need to know how to float the ceiling corners because my buddy flaked out on me. I learned by watching videos on CZcams and starting in the closet. I've been able to do a pretty decent job and we have orange peel texture so most mistakes will cover easy.
I have hurricane damage from Ian and can't seem to get a contractor to show up when they say so I'm doing myself. Very good informative video
In the UK theres drywall too with insulation above it
I enjoyed this and learned something new. Never thought about cutting in a square into drywall to grip it out. Thank you! #DrywallTube
Just trying to learn how to do this
Thank you for making your videos. What is the best way, after it stops raining, and after the roof leaking gets patched up, to dry out the wet mess in the ceiling?
Painter. Good video
Right on CW!💥👊🏻 Thank you!
Do you have any content on cleaning up fails curtain rod attempts? My new place has a few holes around the window. I would like to clean this up and install new rods properly. 🙏🏽
I’m a painter. Doing drywall work scares me to death!
I am working on repairing a hotel bathroom wall and ceiling from water damage.
I want to learn how to do minor repairs
#drywalltube- Thanks for this great tutorial- we have to repair this same type of water damage in our 1984 weekend home. The ceiling has a stomped texture and I am hoping we will be able to repair it close enough so that when we paint, it will not be too obvious (we are DIYers :-)) Thanks again for your channel- it has been so helpful! We are also using your tips on the damaged wallpaper wall video since we have the same issue when we took the wallpaper down from the chair rail area (I guess in 1984 they did not think to size the walls prior to applying wallpaper) :-(
So glad you're finding my videos helpful Julie! Have you seen my stomp texture matching video? czcams.com/video/9l02eMhsRpQ/video.html I really appreciate you watching and commenting my friend! -Paul
Hi, I have mold on my ceiling drywall in my garage. Trying to decide if I cut it out or treat it with mold spray and primer. Do you any thoughts on treating mold vs cutting it out?
DYI Right here
Right on Ryan!💥👊🏻 I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos! -Paul
I’m a DYI with the same problem
I’m a single female DIYer. I inherited a house and I watch CZcams videos to learn how to fix things along the way!
That's epic :)
CZcams University. Discovered a roof leak, which seemed to be successfully repaired. Now educating myself for the rotted drywall in the ceiling!
Helping my Dad, in his garage.
Awesome!👍🏻😎
I have 3 spots like that in my family room, but much worse. 2 of them are against an inside wall, and one straddles a joist in the middle of the room. Hurricane damage. I poked holes in them during the storm to let the water out and prevent spread. They have had about a year to dry out, so now I will cut them out and fix them this fall. New roof works great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I did this years ago for a friend, so it was a nice refresher. After the ceiling repair, I have to reapply the popcorn ceiling finish and paint to match. The popcorn in a spray can with multiple tips works really good. Thanks again. I'm a DIYer, do just about everything myself, plumbing, electrical, AC, Wells, Brick work and cement, etc... Dad taught me well and has saved me a ton of money over the years.
After it’s fixed prime the area of the repair on ceiling let dry then paint the entire ceiling to desired color before u shoot the popcorn up. Once that’s dry mix ur texture up and add the paint u used to paint ceiling directly to the mix. Shoot it up and now it will dry and blend so u don’t have to paint over the nex texture. 👍
@@Brob6304 Sounds like a plan. I'll give that a try.
So ours is pretty bad and it spread to the surroundings so the ceiling kinda sags (due to the water) and the drywall installed is higher than the surrounding ceiling in some places. I was wondering what do you suggest if the ceiling walls are uneven
Thank you for educating the public! I just attached a 14x16 inch patch to the frame of a tray ceiling. Half the patch is level to the existing ceiling but the other half is about 1/6 inch recessed. Should I “pre-fill” recessed area to make level with the other half before taping? Or tape first before several more coats of mud and skim coat? Does it matter what I do first? Thank you!
It wouldn’t hurt to prefill the joints anyways. So yes, prefill then apply the coats accordingly to make the patch nice and flat.👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and commenting my friend!😎 -Paul
Im doing a similar job in my kitchen. I have leak and need to see where its coming from
I have water damage and ceiling is sagging but hard. In other spots it's very spongy
Just recently notified water dripping from the ceiling in the shower while the shower was running!😮 turned water off and the dripping stopped. I run the water in the tub which is separate from the shower. No water leak. I do have an upstairs room above my shower. No other shower or tub above just a room. What you think?
# Drywall Tube Excellent! Sure glad I have flat pry bars, etc. to help remove ceiling drywall material in my 1960 house!
Sounds great! Thank you.💥👍🏻😎
You are welcome! Your photography is excellent...reflects your artistic talent as in your drywall, too!@@PaulPeck
hi there...my tub from upstairs leaked one day about 5 years ago to the downstairs ceiling. I was filling up the bathtub and when I went downstairs to grab a glass a wine I heard what sounded like a waterfall. then I realized my ceiling was wet in some areas. So I rush upstairs, the tub wasnt overflowing it was 3/4 full but I emptied it anyway and called a plumber next morning. he fixed it said it was a loose drain. I never filled the tub again after that day. I also didnt replace the drywall, it dried without damage or discoloration. do you think I should replace it? still no discoloration or bubbling. ceiling still looks like new. wat do u think?
Are dehumifers worth using and do they kill mold already in a room or do they just stop new mold appearing also is salt effective and ok to use in dehumifers that have crystals in the top of dehumifer when Crystal's have run out I have mold in my bedroom and I use dehumifers and I dont wanna have to keep buying more dehumifers
how did u treat the mold on the wood?
#drywalltube I'm a DIY'er and find your videos really helpful. Thank you!
Right on!💥👊🏻 Thanks so much for watching and commenting my friend!😎 -Paul
I’m a Diyer. I had a short in the ac line running a-crossed the ceiling and had to cut holes to trace the path of the line to find the short. Short was caused by a mouse chewing the line. No I need to patch these holes. The problem is that the ceiling is knockdown textured. Needing to know how to match the new Sheetrock with existing ceiling.
you asked about what kind of drywall projects viewers are working on, can you explain what are the different kinds of drywall used for various projects?
What kind of knife are you using?
Can I use my oscillating tool instead of the box cutter?

Bathroom ceiling water damage , whats the best way to repair
I’m a homeowner (not very handy) trying to figure out what to do about a ceiling leak. It’s around a bay window area, and I just had the window replaced in the spot in the floor above, thinking that would fix it. It did not. Now it smells like mold in the room (floor above) and the leak is still happening in the floor below. I have a guy coming Monday to take a look, same people who replaced the windows. Hopefully they will figure out the leak. I’m just trying to figure out what to do about the mold and the ceiling.
Do you have to cut out from a wall if so why - or is that just specific to the ceiling damaged area/plumbing leak you are trying to fix being close to the wall in video?
This may be a pertinent video for me. We have a corner that needs tending.
Glad my video could be helpful to you Scully!💥 Is this from hurricane damage? Take care, -Paul
I have to fix the drywall in my kitchen ceiling, was a leak there.
Why not use an oscillating tool on that part that was over the ferring strip?
what would you charge for a repair like that.I’m trying to learn prices

Good evening Paul, I have a hole on my living room ceiling from my lack of attention when I was in my attic. The hole is about or less than 3'x3'. Could I use this method to repair it? The only thing in my attic is the Blown-in Insulation. Thank you so much for any information or advice you may be able to provide. #DRYWALLTUBE
Just bought my condo and only recently i have noticed the ceiling is really really bad. I scraped off all the original painting because it was full with air pockets. Now I discovered that there are little patches everywhere and right in the middle of ceiling, there is a huge join filled with lots of cement. I have to see a way how I can do this without breaking the bank. I am depress over this.

How do I ask for help?
Where is the next video?
Hello, what is that first tool you used to saw a hole in the ceiling? I could not find it in your Amazon list of tools. Thank you.
Look up drywall saw an you should see it. I hope this helps
How would you do this if the insulation is 30 inches of snow fluff above the damage from the leaky roof?? my shingles and roofing plywood are replaced, now for the drywall ceilling damage.......
I would first cut a smaller hole and try and push back the insulation as much as possible from the are you be repaired. I hope this helps.👍🏻 -Paul

#drywalltube will be replacing ceiling drywall after water leak repair in an entryway for my kid.
My condensate line leaked this summer in an unused guest bathroom. By the time I noticed, there was a bunch of water pooled up in a huge dimple in the ceiling. I poked a hole to let the water drained out and let it dry… for five months. Don’t laugh at my question… can I just sand it and try to drywall to make it even? Someone wanted to charge me 1500 for the repair and I figure it needs something like this repair. I don’t have the $ right now and it is unsightly.

Would be better to use a electrical Multitool to cut out the Ceiling plasterboard. There is more control over the depth that is being cut.
It's a dirty job but someone gotta do it!
#Drywalltube Good practical video
DIY
The drywall looked solid. What would be a disadvantage to simply using an extreme blocking primer on the stained area and then painting the entire ceiling with a color matched paint instead of replacing the drywall?
My question as well
the disadvantage would be that you couldn't charge the customer for a drywall repair
bleach it, let it dry, then seal it with Bin Shellac.
I was thinking that a blocking primer and paint would have been an appropriate repair too.
If there is only water spots as in his video, he basically just over charging. No reason to rip that out considering it’s dry and solid. I would have put a moisture meter on it and just slapped an oil based primer on it and painted the entire ceiling. Would have costed 150 to 200 instead of 500-600.

Great video's!
