Water Damage - the Most Common Insurance Claim
Water damage is the most frequent cause of building insurance claims in Australia, and it almost always involves both plastering and painting to properly restore the affected areas. A burst pipe in the ceiling, a leaking appliance, or flooding from a storm can saturate plasterboard, cause ceilings to sag, and leave paint blistered and discoloured across large areas.
The correct approach to water-damaged plasterboard is to remove and replace it — not to dry it out and repaint over it. Saturated plasterboard retains moisture in its core even after the surface appears dry, creating ongoing conditions for mould growth and structural deterioration. Alleviate Plaster and Paint removes water-damaged board, replaces it with the correct product (including moisture-resistant board in wet areas), and finishes and paints the surface to match the surrounding areas.
For detailed information on water damage repair see our plaster repair page.

Fire and Smoke Damage Repairs
Fire and smoke damage creates a specific set of challenges for painting and plastering repair work. Smoke residue penetrates porous surfaces deeply and will bleed through standard paint if not properly sealed. Fire-damaged plasterboard must be assessed for structural compromise and replaced where affected. Odour management is also a consideration in fire-affected properties.
Alleviate Plaster and Paint handles fire and smoke damage repairs using specialist products suited to the conditions — including encapsulating primers that seal smoke residue and odour before finish coats are applied. We work with loss adjusters and insurers to document the scope accurately and carry out the work to a standard that restores the property fully.
Working with Insurers and Loss Adjusters
Insurance repair work has a specific process that Alleviate Plaster and Paint is experienced in navigating. We can assist property owners through this process:
- Scope of works documentation — we prepare a clear, itemised scope of works that can be submitted to the insurer or loss adjuster for approval
- Photographic evidence — we document the damage and the repair process with photographs that support the insurance claim
- Working within approved budgets — once the claim is approved, we work to the agreed scope and communicate clearly about any variations that arise
- Like-for-like restoration — our goal is to restore the affected areas to a condition that matches the pre-damage state as closely as possible
If you are a property manager or strata manager dealing with insurance claims across multiple properties, contact Alleviate Plaster and Paint directly to discuss establishing a preferred contractor relationship.
