Drywall can be damaged by impacts, moisture, and foundation settlement.

​

Harsh collisions will cause “perforation gashes” in drywall, as the paper surface tears and the gypsum core crumbles and cracks.  Building settling or shifting or other structural problems can lead to cracking especially around window and door openings.  If framing flexes with impact or building settling it can even become dislodged from the framing that holds it in place.

​

Another enemy of drywall is moisture!  The standard drywall panels will absorb moisture into the paper that is facing of in direct contact with it.  At this point, the wet paper becomes and prime habitat for mold.  Spreading mold creates stains on the paper surface that seep through the paint as the gypsum core begins to swell and deteriorate, not only destroying the wallboard but also creating a health hazard to building occupants that are likely to inhale the airborne mold spores and cross-contamination of areas unaffected.

​
