Temporary Ceiling Repair
This ceiling damage is being kept in place with some duct
tape and a scrap piece of drywall. Why do you need to temporarily repair
the ceiling?
How would you like to be walking underneath this area when a large chunk
of the drywall and possible framing damage came tumbling down on your
head. The tape might not be the best way to confine the damage ceiling,
but it's a start.
Make sure that you move any of your possessions, furniture and so on,
from underneath this area to prevent further damage to items in the
home. It wouldn't be a bad idea to place some scrap pieces of plywood
underneath this ceiling damage, just in case it was to collapse.
Home Repair Tip: Whenever there's damage to your ceiling, walls or any
part of your home, try to put a temporary Band-Aid on it until the home
repair can be fixed properly. It would be better to use a scrap piece of
plywood than the scrap piece of drywall. The drywall doesn't have as
much strength as a piece of wood does.
