Hello

After a pipe burst early last year, two floors of the house were water damaged.

Approximately 35 cubic meters of water have leaked over a period of several weeks, and as a result, serious damage has obviously occurred.

Mold growth on wallpapers that had wood chips in them, tearing up wooden floors and loose plaster that needed to be chipped and scraped off, mold treatment, and of course drying out the house.

The house and its structure are completely built of concrete and stone, and the few interior walls that exist have no wooden studs.

All walls and ceilings had plaster that, in large parts, had to be completely scraped and chipped off, and the house is now completely dry and mold-free.

The question is what the best approach is before the final painting can take place? Which product for a smooth surface before painting?
The remaining plaster on the ceiling is rough and uneven in places, but what's left is not loose.

Should more plaster be applied on the existing one?
Naturgips? Coarse filler directly on?

What should the surface be primed with?

Thank you in advance
 
  • Uneven concrete ceiling with patches of plaster in a room after water damage. A bare light bulb hangs from the ceiling.
  • A room corner with a window, displaying uneven plaster on the walls after water damage repair, awaiting further treatment before painting.
  • Uneven plaster ceiling and peeling walls in a small bathroom with a toilet, sink, and exposed pipe, highlighting post-water damage repairs.
  • Uneven plastered ceiling with patches and a fluorescent light fixture in a tiled bathroom, showing signs of repair and moisture damage.
  • Uneven concrete ceiling with rough patches after water damage; surface is ready for repairs before painting.
  • Uneven textured ceiling with patches of rough plaster, possibly from water damage repairs, in a room with dark-framed windows and white walls.

Hi
After the walls dried properly, we used Hey’DI FIBERPUTS directly on the walls that needed rebuilding after our water damage.
Floors sanded and painted.
 
  • Modern bathroom with tiled walls, black-framed glass shower, grey vanity with black sink, mirror, and storage units. Natural light from a top window.
  • Narrow hallway with white walls, closed doors, and a staircase at the end. Brown protective paper covers the floor, possibly after renovation.
  • Renovated hallway with dry walls coated in Hey'DI FIBERPUTS and smooth dark flooring after water damage restoration.
  • Hallway with newly plastered and painted walls after water damage, featuring repair materials and tools scattered on the concrete floor.
  • Basement with unfinished walls; a partially tiled section by a sink, loose tiles on the floor, and a bag in the foreground, showing post-water damage repairs.
  • Narrow hallway with partially plastered and repaired walls, a dark floor, and overhead lighting, viewed after restoration work from water damage.
  • Laundry room with washing machine and dryer, storage cabinet, detergent bottles on a white countertop, shelving with hangers, and patterned rug on black floor.
