Drywall, also known as gypsum board or sheetrock, is a fundamental element in most modern homes and commercial buildings. It provides a smooth, paint-ready surface for walls and ceilings, and contributes to the overall structural integrity and insulation of a room. However, drywall can suffer wear and tear over time. From small nail holes to larger cracks or water damage, regular drywall repair and maintenance are essential to keeping your space looking clean and well-kept.
Common Causes of Drywall Damage
Drywall can be damaged in various ways. Accidental bumps from furniture, doorknob impacts, moisture leaks, or even settling foundations can lead to holes, dents, or cracks. In humid environments, drywall may also be vulnerable to mold and mildew growth if not properly sealed or ventilated. Identifying damage early is crucial for timely and cost-effective repairs.
