The Most Common Causes of Gyprock Plasterboard Damage
Unsecured nails
Over time, nails that are not well secured during the installation process will pop through your ceiling structure because of poor craftsmanship.
Water damage
Gyprock ceilings are commonly damaged in this way. This can be caused by a bigger structural problem that must be addressed first. Before beginning to address the actual gyprock ceiling repair process, these issues must be addressed first and foremost. For example, a leaky roof, defective gutters, malfunctions and breaks in overhead pipework, heavy impacts from upper floors, and other possible structural problems must be addressed.
Cracks
Regardless of how big or small the crack is, you should seek the assistance of repair specialists. It is possible for even the tiniest crack to result in a butterfly effect that will eventually cause major damage to your ceiling as well as to your walls and foundation. There is no room for complacency. It is most common for cracks to develop on ceilings where there are traces of moisture.
Loose joint tapes
Joint tapes are used to install thicker joint compounds on Gyprock ceilings. Joint tapes, however, can sometimes come out or become visible, particularly when moisture is present.
Termites
Termites can damage gyprock ceilings. Early detection is the best method for preventing extensive damage. The importance of regular ceiling inspections and maintenance becomes evident in this situation. If you notice any damage to your ceiling, you can also check for signs of termites. There are several signs to look for, including bubbles in the paint, small holes, and crumbling or decaying boards.
