This problem is often faced by everyone who lives in multi-storey buildings. Neighbors from the upper floors have every chance of flooding, or a leak may occur due to the fact that your apartment is on the top floor and the leak originated from the roof of the building. Whatever the reasons, it is necessary to eliminate the results of the leak anyway, since ugly spots on the ceiling spoil the appearance of the entire room.
How to eliminate traces of leakage
The special feature of this type of repair is that during this repair we do not do local repairs, but only seal up the area where the spots are visible. Against the background of the ceiling, the traces of such repairs (repairs) will be visible, no matter how hard you try. Therefore, it is necessary to repair the entire ceiling in the room.
First you need to clean the ceiling from the old plaster. To do this, you need to soak the entire ceiling with water. This can be done with a roller. After that, it is necessary to wait until all the old plaster is soaked. We take a metal brush and peel off the old whitewash. The remaining small particles are simply washed off with a moistened cloth. After that, it is necessary to inspect the entire ceiling to see if there are any cracks on it. If there are any, they must be removed with putty. Before and after plastering, the entire ceiling must be coated with a layer of impregnation. This must be done for better adhesion between the ceiling surface and the paint. There is no difference between the type of paint you plan to apply. By the way, Pinotex oils and varnishes are the most high—quality paint and varnish products.
To prepare the smoothest and most even ceiling surface, it is necessary to sand the entire surface after finishing the ceiling priming. You can treat the ceiling with an ordinary "sandpaper" (sandpaper). After sanding, a finishing primer is applied to the ceiling. If the traces of the leak are clearly visible after all the work done, then they must be masked with matte white paint until they completely disappear. If necessary, apply a 2nd coat of paint. After all this, the paint needs to dry well. The final coat of paint is usually applied in 2 steps. The 1st "rough layer" should be applied with a wide brush. The 2nd layer is applied with a roller. Care should be taken to ensure that the layers are completely dry. If the layers do not dry out, streaks, streaks and swellings may form.
In order for the renovation to be completed very soon and without unforeseen circumstances, it is necessary to free the entire room from furniture in advance, and if something cannot be moved, then the furniture that remains must be covered with a film. It is also necessary to cover the walls and floors with a film. Then cleaning after the completed repairs will not bring you any difficulties. tsescort.org
