Water Damage and Plumbing Leak Drywall Restoration in Delano
When a water heater fails, a pipe bursts, or a roof leak makes its way into a wall — the damage spreads faster than it looks from the surface. At Bakersfield Elite Drywall , water damage restoration is one of our most requested services in Delano. We respond quickly, assess the full extent of the damage, and rebuild affected walls and ceilings with properly rated materials that won't foster mold growth.
Our process starts with moisture detection. Before we hang any new board, we verify that the framing behind it is fully dry and free of active mold. If framing lumber has been compromised, we flag it for replacement before we proceed — putting fresh drywall over wet or moldy framing just means you'll be having the same conversation again six months from now, except the damage will be worse. We work in coordination with restoration companies and insurance adjusters when needed, and we can document our work for insurance claims.
Once the structure is confirmed dry and clean, we install mold-resistant gypsum panels in all areas that were affected, apply paper tape and multiple coats of compound, and finish to match the surrounding surface texture and sheen. Our goal every time is a repair that looks like it was never needed — not a patched area that reads clearly against the original wall.
Room Additions and New Interior Installations
Delano has seen steady growth over the past decade, with families adding rooms, converting garages into living space, and building new structures on existing residential properties. These projects all require drywall once the framing is in, and the quality of the drywall work sets the tone for every other interior finish that follows. Poorly hung, badly taped, or sloppily textured drywall creates problems for painters, cabinetmakers, and tile setters — and it means more cost and rework down the line.
We take new installation work seriously. We measure and cut panels carefully to minimize waste and maximize coverage, fasten properly to every stud and joist, and tape all seams with paper tape on inside corners and mesh tape on flat joints. We apply compound in multiple thin coats rather than one thick pass, which prevents shrinkage cracking and produces a much flatter finished surface. Before we leave a job, we do a final check with a raking light across the wall — the same test a painter will perform before rolling on paint.
For garage conversions in particular, we handle the additional code requirements that apply in Delano — including the fire-rated separation wall between the converted space and any adjacent living areas, and the moisture-resistant substrate in any areas that gain a bathroom or laundry facility as part of the conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
My pipe burst and soaked a wall in my Delano home. How quickly can you respond?
We prioritize water damage calls and aim to schedule an assessment within 24 to 48 hours of your initial contact. The sooner we can evaluate the damage, the sooner we can prevent mold from taking hold in the affected framing and insulation. Call us as soon as possible after the water source has been addressed.
Can you work with my homeowner's insurance in Delano?
Yes. We routinely work with homeowner's insurance adjusters on water damage and storm damage claims. We provide detailed documentation of the damage, scope of repair, and material specifications that insurers require, and we can communicate directly with your adjuster if needed to expedite the approval process.
What does a finished room addition in Delano typically cost?
Pricing depends on square footage, ceiling height, the level of finish required, and any specialty work like moisture-resistant panels or fire-rated separations. Small additions (100–200 sq ft) typically range from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars for the drywall scope alone. We provide free, detailed estimates so you know exactly what you're getting before any work begins.
